A magnitude 2.7 earthquake rattled parts of New York and New Jersey around midday on August 5, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
The quake struck just over a mile southwest of Hillsdale, New Jersey, at approximately 12:11 p.m. ET. Hillsdale is located about 20 miles northwest of Manhattan.
“Why did my building just shake again?” one X user posted shortly afterward.
The tremor comes just days after a magnitude 3.0 earthquake shook parts of New Jersey on August 2 and was felt as far away as New York.
