A magnitude 2.7 earthquake rattled parts of New York and New Jersey around midday on Aug. 5, according to data from the U.S. Geological Survey. The tremor struck just over a mile southwest of Hillsdale, New Jersey, at about 12:11 p.m. ET, according to USGS. Hillsdale is about 20 miles northwest of Manhattan.

A magnitude 3.0 earthquake centered in New Jersey briefly shook NYC Saturday night, prompting emergency guidance but no major damage.

The magnitude 3.0 earthquake that shook the East Coast came nearly a year and a half after a magnitude 4.8 quake shocked New York City and its surroundings
