A rare earthquake shook the New York area Friday morning, rattling parts of the Big Apple, Connecticut and New Jersey.
The preliminary 4.7-magnitude earthquake struck near Lebanon, New Jersey, around 10:23 a.m., according to the US Geological Survey.
Tremors could be felt as far north as New Paltz, New York and as far south as Delaware.
Kelly Shone, a mom of two who works nights in Newark, Del, said she felt a “slight rumbling” while in bed Friday morning.
“I thought it was my husband walking heavily downstairs at first,” Shone told The Post.
The extent of the damage from the quake was not immediately clear.
My team is assessing impacts and any damage that may have occurred, and we will update the public throughout the day,” New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said.
Mayor Eric Adams said he has also been briefed following the tremors, and no major impacts had been reported in the city.
The Empire State Building’s official X account jumped into the fray online, quipping, “I AM FINE.”
