After earthquakes centered in New Jersey rattled parts the NYC area twice in less than two weeks, a seismologist says it's unlikely a sign of things to come.

A minor earthquake shook New Jersey around noon on Tuesday, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. It was the second seismic event to hit the state in just three days. The 2.7 magnitude quake struck at 12:11 p.m. about a mile southwest of Hillsdale, a borough in Bergen County, the USGS said. No damage or injuries have been reported.
