A 4.8-magnitude earthquake shook the New York City area Friday morning, according to the United States Geological Survey (USGS).

The epicenter of the earthquake was in Lebanon, N.J., according to USGS.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) said it was felt throughout the state.

“My team is assessing impacts and any damage that may have occurred, and we will update the public throughout the day,” her office said on social media.

The New York City Fire Department said it had no reports of damage at this time.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams’s office also said he was briefed on the situation.

“While we do not have any reports of major impacts at this time, we’re still assessing the impact,” his office said on social media.

Richter scale is logarithmic. Twice as strong would be a 5.1. A 5.8 would be 10 times as strong and a 6.8 would be 100 times as strong.

Biden has turned against Israel and those Jews who are Orthodox, and practicing , protectors of Israel, not Bolshevik Commie "jews" like Nadler. Schumer, Jessoca Tarlov and the thorusands of noon practicing commie Jews who do not know enough to support Israel instead of Hamas and the punative god Allah.

The small "j" commie "jews" who live in New York and the North East have a small gap in which to change, and if not, things are going to get much worse for them. Anti Semitism is on the rise by their very own "j" hands.There is a war between Allah and YWHW.Humans are caught up in it.

This is a warning cycle. Lets pray that Biden , Schumer, Schiff and Nadler do not incur YWHWs wrath on our whole nation, we must protect Israel at all costs.

The next "plagues" may not be so gentle.We have already suffered a series of them.

YWHW walks Judea and Sumeria as of old ever since Oct 7 2023.

I’m glad I was sitting down for it, taking attendance.
At first, I thought it was the school on the floor above me because it was too much to be a truck on the avenue. But then it kept going.

Oddly, I’m still a little shaken by it inside. I’m not shaking or anything, but I’m a little “off”.

Any aftershocks? Any idea what the fault is called?

Yes, 2.0 epicenter near Bedminster.

It’s the Ramapo fault.

Rather a natural disaster than a civil war.

Yeah, I will own that.

Not good to wish death on people.

NYC isn’t built to handle big quakes.

No aftershocks.

I remember as a kid learning NY sits atop one of the biggest fault lines that has been mostly dormant for centuries. The scaremongers always used this in the attempt to shut down Indian Point nuclear power plant.

No clue what the name it.

No it isn’t.

They want me dead. I’d rather deal with a natural disaster than a civil war
