Strong seismic activity in New Jersey detected, resonating in select regions of New York City
On Saturday night, August 2, 2025, a magnitude 3.0 earthquake struck near Hasbrouck Heights in Bergen County, New Jersey, approximately 6 miles underground. The tremors were felt as far as 60 miles away, including parts of New York City.
This earthquake follows another one that occurred on August 5, 2025, a magnitude 2.7 earthquake that shook areas including New York City, about 1.2 miles southwest of Hillsdale, New Jersey.
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has reported both events. However, it is important to note that earthquakes at a magnitude of 3.0 and below are not considered very dangerous or damaging by the USGS.
While the Saturday night earthquake was felt across the region, no specific statement has been made yet regarding its potential impacts compared to the previous one. Similarly, there are no reports of damage or injuries associated with these events.
It is also worth mentioning that the location of the Saturday night earthquake was different from the previous one, which occurred northwest of the city, near Hillsdale, New Jersey.
This article is breaking news and will be updated as more information becomes available. The Saturday night earthquake is a separate event from the one reported by the USGS on the same day.
Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story.
The Saturday night earthquake may have minor effects on environmental-science studies, particularly regarding weather patterns, as seismic activity can potentially influence atmospheric conditions. This earthquake's location differs from the previous one, further interesting the scientific community in the study of weather anomalies in relation to both events.
