A 4.8 magnitude earthquake struck New York, New Jersey and the Northeast

The quake came just weeks after a 4.8-magnitude earthquake struck New York, New Jersey and the Northeast, sending shock waves through the New York metro area.

Minor damage, including a water main break and gas leak, was reported in the town near the epicenter of the April 5 earthquake. Some homes in New Jersey have been declared hazardous due to potential damage from the earthquake.

The strong earthquake caused several aftershocks over the weeks. However, there is currently no information on whether Saturday's quake has any connection to the previous quake.

While earthquakes are rarely seen in the New York-New Jersey area, there are some small fault lines under Manhattan and the Ramapo Fault, a large fault in New Jersey.
