A small earthquake rattled the New York metropolitan area Saturday night.
The U.S. Geological Survey said the tremor had a magnitude of 3.0.
It hit in the New Jersey suburb of Hasbrouck Heights, less than 8 miles (13 kilometers) west of Central Park, at a depth of about 6.2 miles (10 kilometers).
One resident of New York’s Brooklyn borough described it as a very brief tremor, just a slight swaying for a moment.
Nevertheless, social media quickly lit up with people who felt it.
Can we really predict earthquakes? Two top seismologists explain why it’s so hard and what we can actually do to stay prepared.
