Minor earthquake shakes New Jersey
Posted on November 5, 2012
November 5, 2012 – RINGWOOD, N.J. — Some
residents in northern New Jersey awoke to a small earthquake early
Monday. The temblor, with a magnitude of 2.0, struck at 1:19 a.m. and
was centered in Ringwood, a community that’s still dealing with downed
trees and power outages from Sandy. Geophysicist Jessica Turner at the
National Earthquake Information Center says some people reported hearing
a loud boom. Turner says those on upper floors of a home might have
felt shaking or saw objects on walls vibrate. The quake was 3 miles
below ground and could also be felt in Mahwah, Wanaque, Oakland,
Franklin Lakes, West Milford and Paterson. Ringwood police say there are
no reports of damage. Turner says the last earthquake in New Jersey had
a 2.2 magnitude and was recorded in February 2010. –NY Daily News
