Past earthquakes in the Tri-State Area

Back in July, a small 1.6 magnitude earthquake happened near Morris Plains in Morris County, the USGS reported, and in January, a 2.4 magnitude earthquake shook Bergen County.

Last year, a 4.8 magnitude earthquake hit Readington Township. It was one of the largest earthquakes to hit the East Coast in a century and was felt across the Tri-State area. There were multiple aftershocks in the following days.
