A small earthquake rocked parts of New Jersey and New York on Saturday night, according to officials.
A magnitude 3.0 earthquake occurred six miles underground in Hasbrouck Heights, NJ, at 10:18 p.m., as reported by the United States Geological Survey.
This Bergen County borough lies approximately 13 miles away from Midtown, and the tremors were felt in various areas of Upper Manhattan, including Hell’s Kitchen, as well as Riverdale in The Bronx and even Staten Island.

An individual reported feeling the tremors for up to 10 seconds in parts of the Garden State, while shorter vibrations were noted in Nutley, NJ, which is about nine miles south of Hasbrouck Heights.
“It sounded like a bang, followed by a shake and it lasted about two seconds,” Erica Pirchio, 40, who was in Nutley, told The Post.
“I have experienced two earthquakes in New York and New Jersey and this was the most violent — I never heard an earthquake before that sounded like a thud,” said Pirchio, adding, “I thought one of my parents fell.”
Last week, six tiny earthquakes — ranging from magnitude .07 to 2.0 — rattled Morris County, NJ, within one 17-hour span.
New Yorkers felt a rare magnitude 4.8 earthquake last April which struck near Lebanon, NJ, but also sent shockwaves across Gotham.
