The quake was centred on Lebanon, New Jersey, about 45 miles west of the city.
An earthquake shook the densely populated New York City metropolitan area Friday morning, the US Geological Survey said, with residents reporting they felt rumbling across the north east of the country.
People in Baltimore, Philadelphia, Connecticut and other areas of the East Coast unaccustomed to earthquakes also reported feeling the ground shake.“My team is assessing impacts and any damage that may have occurred, and we will update the public throughout the day,” Ms Hochul said.
