WILD claims have circulated online about a supposed link between the 4.8 magnitude earthquake that shook New York City and a solar event next week — and some eclipse reason.
An estimated 42 million people across the northeast were jutted out of their routines when the earthquake shook buildings and rattled windows at about 10:23 am on Friday.
The epicenter of the quake was about seven miles north of Whitehouse Station, New Jersey, roughly an hour west of New York City, according to The US Geological Survey.
While earthquakes are not unheard of in the northeastern US, shudders of this size and magnitude have not been felt in the region for over a decade.
“We’re taking this extremely seriously,” New York Governor Kathy Hochul wrote on X after the tremor.
“There’s always the possibility of aftershocks. We have not felt a magnitude of this earthquake since about 2011.
