Map of the main quake and aftershocks (map data)
On April 5, 2024, at 10:23 EDT (14:23 UTC), a Mw 4.8 earthquake occurred in the U.S. state of New Jersey, with the epicenter in Tewksbury Township. While it was felt across the New York metropolitan area, Delaware Valley, the Washington D.C metropolitan area, and other parts of the northeastern United States between Virginia and Maine, it had a relatively minor impact, with no major damage reported.[2][3] There were dozens of aftershocks throughout the rest of the week and into the next.[4][5]
It was the strongest earthquake to affect New Jersey since the 5.3 Mfa 1783 New Jersey earthquake,[6] and the strongest to hit New York City since an estimated 5.0 magnitude earthquake on August 10, 1884.[7][3]
