An earthquake with a magnitude of 3.0 struck some parts of New York City and New Jersey on Saturday night, according to the US Geological Survey.
The epicenter was just north of Hasbrouck Heights, New Jersey, approximately 10 kilometers below the Earth's surface, according to ABC News.
"A 3.0 magnitude earthquake was recorded in the Hasbrouck Heights area," Bergen County Sheriff Anthony Cureton said in a post on Facebook. "Please do not be alarmed - there are currently no reports of damage or injuries."
"Please be advised that the USGS [United States Geological Survey] is reporting a 3.2 magnitude earthquake has taken place with the epicenter being Hasbrouch Heights," Bergen County Office of Emergency Management announced in a Facebook statement. "Emergency services are aware of the event."
The USGS had also advised to be on alert for possible aftershocks, which could hit in a few hours or even in a few days.
"We would not expect there to be a lot of damage from a three," USGS Analyst Xan Davidson told ABC News New York. "It would just be shaking...because the three is not really considered a significant earthquake."
"Earthquakes do happen here, but it's not something that happens frequently," Davidson added.
"I wouldn't be concerned with a three," he said. "It depends on what you want to be concerned about, but I do not see this being something to be concerned about."
A 4.7 magnitude earthquake struck New York City in April 2024.
The earthquake was felt across the region, including in New Jersey, northern Pennsylvania, and western Connecticut, according to Reuters journalists and social media at the time.

"We thought it was a huge truck going by the neighborhood," one New Jersey resident replied to a post on Facebook about the earthquake.
"Thought it was a Metro-North train," said another resident.
"I honestly didn't know what I felt until you told me," a New Jersey resident told The Jerusalem Post. "I initially thought something fell in my building."
