“Another aftershock in New York. “Just after midnight, the ground shook again on the east coast of the United States,” wrote RMF FM's American correspondent, Pawel Chochowski, just after midnight.
The aftershocks lasted several seconds. Local authorities say: “Residents are advised to stay home and call 911 in case of infection.”
These are the upcoming shocks that this region will witness during the last hours. According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS), the previous earthquake occurred at 10.23 local time (4.23 pm Polish time). The tremors were felt in East Coast cities from Philadelphia to Boston. Several airports on the East Coast have announced landing bans. Air traffic was temporarily suspended.
Sirens sounded in New York City. Smartphone alerts appeared. The NYPD announced that there are no reports of damage at this time. “Although there are no reports of serious consequences at this time, we are still assessing the impact,” Fabian Levy, spokesman for Mayor Eric Adams, wrote on social media.
New York City schools spokesman Nathaniel Steyer said, “There is no information about any damage to the buildings and facility staff are conducting thorough inspections.”
The New York Times reports that although most earthquakes in the Northeast go unnoticed, many were felt by New Yorkers. Last May, a 2.2 magnitude earthquake struck parts of New York and New Jersey. A month ago, a 3.6 magnitude earthquake struck the Adams Center in New York. In 2011, a 5.8-magnitude earthquake in Virginia led to the evacuation of City Hall and some office buildings in Manhattan.
The last major earthquake recorded in New York occurred in 1884. A 5.2 magnitude earthquake struck Coney Island in Brooklyn.
