A rare magnitude 4.8 earthquake rattles New Jersey, recorded as the strongest in over 240 years. Following the seismic event, 11 aftershocks shake the region. The tremors surprised residents, as the area rarely experiences notable seismic activity. While no major damage was reported, engineering teams inspected infrastructure for any potential issues. People from Baltimore to Boston felt the rumbling, with some running outside to detect the source. New York Governor Kathy Hochul termed it one of the largest earthquakes on the East Coast in a century. Flights were briefly halted at area airports, but operations resumed swiftly.
