 * An emergency alert was sent out almost an hour after a 4.8-magnitude
   earthquake shook New York City, New Jersey and Connecticut

An emergency alert has been sent out almost an hour after an unexpected
earthquake hit the Northeast.

At 11:02 am, an alert was sent out to millions of people who were shaken by the
quake, which happened at 10:23 am.

ADVERTISEMENT


'4.7 magnitude earthquake has occurred in the NYC area,' the alert read.



'Residents are advised to remain indoors and to call 911 if injured.' 

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) reported that the quake, which the agency
revealed was actually 4.8 in magnitude, was centered near Lebanon, New Jersey. 

The Fire Department of New York said there were no initial reports of damage.

The epicenter of the quake was near Readington in Hunterdon County, according to
New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy.

A follow up emergency alert was sent out at 11:46 am, updating New Yorkers as to
what to expect.

'Aftershocks may be felt. New Yorkers can continue usual activities,' the alert
said.

Both emergency alerts included a link to a USGS article with safety instructions
for when an earthquake occurs.

The USGS article instructed those experiencing an earthquake indoors to stay in
the building they are in.

'Get under a desk or table and hang on to it or move into a hallway or against
an inside wall,' the post read.

In terms of what to avoid, USGS said to steer clear of windows, fireplaces and
heavy furniture or appliances. The kitchen usually has plenty of loose items, so
that room of the house is best to avoid if possible.

'DON'T run downstairs or rush outside while the building is shaking or while
there is danger of falling and hurting yourself or being hit by falling glass or
debris,' the post read.

they are 'assessing impacts and any damage that may have occurred'

If you're outside during an earthquake, its best to run into an open area 'away
from buildings, power lines, chimneys, and anything else that might fall on
you.'

If you're driving during an earthquake, its important to stop the car carefully.

'Move your car as far out of traffic as possible. DO NOT stop on or under a
bridge or overpass or under trees, light posts, power lines, or signs. 

'STAY INSIDE your car until the shaking stops. When you RESUME driving, watch
for breaks in the pavement, fallen rocks, and bumps in the road at bridge
approaches.'

In the event you are caught in a mountainous area, watch out for falling
objects, trees, landslides, and other debris brought out by the quake.

Hoards of celebrities took to X, shaken and surprised by the quake

New York Governor Kathy Hochul said on X that she and her team were aware of the
earthquake, and that they are 'assessing impacts and any damage that may have
occurred.'

'We will update the public throughout the day,' the post read.  

President Biden has been briefed on the earthquake, per the White House. 

Hoards of celebrities took to X, shaken and surprised by the quake, with some
posting footage of the earthquake's tremors shaking live broadcasts, such as the
MLB Network.

Megyn Kelly posted on X that she felt it in Connecticut.

'Did we just have an earthquake? (In CT),' she wrote.

Actress Busy Phillips also posted about feeling the shake in NYC: 'like guys. i
think there was an earthquake in nyc.'

So far, there are no reports of major impacts or damage from the quake

Oscar-winner Jessica Chastain wrote: 'Did we just have an earthquake?! NYC'

Don Lemon added: 'Totally just had an #earthquake in New York. Did you feel it?'

Meanwhile the X account for the Empire State building posted: 'I am fine.'

ADVERTISEMENT


Although the 8.5 million-person metropolis is not considered a seismic hot spot,
the five boroughs are rife with fault lines that have the potential to collapse
scores of structures.

Given that such an earthquake occurs in New York around every 100 years and that
the most recent one occurred in 1884, this quake was a long time coming.

So far there are no reports of major impacts or damage from the quake.
