An earthquake shook the Northeast on Friday, along with aftershocks throughout the day. We have live team coverage of the impact and cleanup efforts in New York and New Jersey.
I was in the middle of praying when the earthquake hit. Thank God no lives were lost🙏🏾
Amen ❤️
Amen🙏✝️
Why?

New York probably the scariest place for an earthquake. All the tall buildings and people living and working in them.
Yeah, kinda like the ocean is a scary place to drown. All that water 😂😂😂
AGREED.
@@ChatGPT1111 Okay but like... you realize there's an actual difference in survival in an earthquake when you're in the middle of an open field vs being surrounded by or possibly inside of one of any many tall buildings that probably weren't engineered to survive such an incredibly rare quake.
Million dollar penthouse....
You can say louder
In January 12 /2010 we had an earthquake 7.1 magnitude in Haiti and it last 35 second more than 300.000 people died and I was there,I will never forget that moment.
I'm glad you made it out 👍 sadly it is still a mess, maybe worse 😞
@@2990rick yes it is
@@2990rickyes I did, thank you
Sadly Clinton stole the relief money and gets away with it. Truly embarrassing as an American.
What about Palestinians people getting bombed by US
One lady spokesperson this AM on MSNBC was stating according to her that "its not the shaking you think but kind of shifting....". As a native San Franciscan, I need to tell you EACH EARTHQUAKE IS DIFFERENT. Some roll, some deeply rumble as you hear them coming, some JOLT, and SOME definitely SHAKE. There are many different types of earthquake feels.
Since you watch MSNBC, I can’t upvote your statement. But I will include you, as well as all of you who have gone thru this. I grew up in earthquake country in Southern California. We had plenty of them, and most caused much havoc. Stay safe.
Some are like popcorn up and down movement and yes the Rumble Sound very scary ! And some are at night !
@@TERoss-jk9ny "Since you watch MSNBC..." bro what.
That's true it depends how deep it is too and how far you are from the epicenter. The rule of thumb out here in California is this: the farther away you are from the epicenter and / or the deeper the quake, the slower the motion, like big ocean waves. The closer to the epicenter and/or the shallower the quake, the faster and sharper the movement with sometimes jolts and up and down movement. Add to this of course is the magnitude and type of soil or topography. Quakes in a valley are different then those on the shoreline or in the mountains etc.
This makes sense because the last earthquake we had in NY felt more shifty! I didn’t know if that was just me misremembering or what.
I was in the Alaskan earthquake in 1964 which was a 9.2 ! I will never forget it, I remember every little detail about that day. It was good Friday and my sister's school was closed which was a good thing because the roof collapsed.
9.2?? 🤔 I’m surprised anyone was able to survive that!!!!
@@rubyred3860whole road caved in
@@rubyred3860 he wasn't in the epicentre is my guess
@rubyred3860 Not many died directly from the earthquake. FYI in downtown Anchorage,AK only 9 people lost. But following tsunami measured as high as 180ft killed 100+
I felt the shaking in my home and my first thought was the washing machine must have been off balance. But the shaking was so severe I was like like "OH NO!! THE WASHING MACHINE IS GOING TO TEAR ITSELF APART!!" Ran downstairs and it wasn't running. "Huh... oh! that must have been an eathquake!"
Hahaha, glad your washer, and you, are all good.
I almost fell out of bed Also I remember your videos, good times
Did you hear the sonic boom? A small one hit here years ago and between the boom and shaking i feared WW3 started. Lol
@@googleuser868Yes.
@googleuser868 no "boom" just violent shaking and a lot of noise. I'm pretty sure a brick in a washing machine on spin cycle would have the same effect. But like.. every room in your house has a brick in a washing machine at the same time.
The dad explaining it to his little girl was so sweet.
California resident and I can tell you I would NOT want to be indoors in a quake that size in a building that was not engineered to withstand quakes.

Prayers for those who are being displaced from their home.

Don't know what kind of mayhem would happen if an earthquake great than 6 ever hit the east coast. Scary
Yes, I am Taiwanese, and I was very surprised to see earthquakes in New York. But in comparison, Taiwan has larger earthquakes and aftershocks almost every day. The chance of earthquakes in your city is extremely rare. happened, your buildings were not built to protect against earthquakes. If a larger earthquake occurs in New York, it may bring huge disasters.
WE DON'T EVEN MOVE A MUSCLE UNLESS IT'S ABOVE A 6
Nothing is built to code, it would be a disaster. So many people would be severely injured and would die.
Where I live , we have a 6.4 one . With daily aftershocks over 4.5 for over 1 month. And daily ones over 3 for over a year .
Those buildings that aren't designed to withstand earthquakes like they are in California. NYC that has a massive underground subway system.
I can't imagine the scare of being in the subway at the time.
Those pesky aftershocks. As a native Californian, I feel for the people on the East Coast. They're not used to the earth suddenly shaking beneath them.
Largest New York quake vs. Smallest California Quake:
@@megafatman_2682 Pretty much. 4.8 is actually not that bad. The Northridge Quake was 6.7 and I wasn't living in the center. I was clear on the other side of town and it was still strong.
the last earthquake I remember feeling was way back in 2011 when Virginia got I believe around a 5.5 earthquake, unless you live near train tracks like me then yeah we're not used to earthquakes and I'm sure our houses weren't build to handle them (I slept through it personally cause I'm used to my house shaking LOL)
@@MusicLover4688 As someone who's been in a 7.6 magnitude earthquake. I've seen half the buildings in place. The other half is half mile away.
Most people would feel terrified by an earthquake if they've never felt one before, especially in New York in those skyscrapers, which is understandable.
NYC is built on bedrock which is the best thing for earthquakes. Any thing else is dangerous......
I was thinking that too. I'm from SF and it still scares me when it happens.
I'm from Mexico City and I can tell you that the skyscrapers are safer than small buildings. Usually the 5-10 storey buildings are the ones that fall.
The concrete canyons threading between them is no place to be in an earthquake when the walls come tumbling down.
@@ernesttorres4059 Exactly. Modern skyscrapers are designed to have some "give."
As a native lifetime Californian, must be a shock to y'all. We don't even really notice the 4.8s, they are like a nice foot massage.
lets not compete about traumatic events and have some compassion.
🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Not funny for old buildings in NYC and an old subway.... 😢
Depends if they're "rollers" or the sharp ones though. But yeah, I have California's ShakeAlert on my phone. LoL
@@jessyjess1373 you should be happy, maybe if a big earthquake fucks up the subway they will be forced to upgrade and clean it
For me, it was the sound that tipped me off. I was sitting at my desk alone in a quiet office when it hit, and at first I thought it was a passing train or truck. But the rumble was DEEP. Like how things sound when you need to pop your ears? Muffled, almost like you could be imagining it. It made me feel a little sick tbh
Yep, they can make you feel queasy with the rolling ones..
I was in the Bay Area in 1989 when the Loma Prieta earthquake hit. It felt like a giant grabbed the pavement I was walking on and violently yanked it backwards. I fell forward and barely kept from faceplanting. In the split second before I realized other people also felt it, my first thought was that a blood vessel in my brain had burst and instantly destroyed my ability to regulate balance. First thing that came to my mind.
Aftershock at 5:59 PM hit here in the Bronx - walking about half-mile from Yankee Stadium and someone yelled out their window - "another one!!"

I was sitting in my car at Wal-Mart east brunswick NJ it felt like someone was rocking my car then this afternoon it happened again but not as bad. It really shook hard at like 1032 something. Be safe all 🙏
Nice I was in the same exact town just a half mile from there, my parents house is close by too. I work in a warehouse so I thought it was a huge truck passing by.
No way I'd be riding the subway now. Praying for all those that have been displaced.😔🙏
I am in the Los Angeles area, I have been Through many earthquakes, large and small. My thoughts and prayers are with you in New York and New Jersey. The magnitude of earthquake there today is very similar to the aftershocks we had from the 1994 Northridge earthquake. I hope all of you back east never have to go through the magnitude of earthquake we had in Northridge in 1994.
I admit, that Northridge quake sent me catapult style, out of my top bunk
Thank you from here in Jersey for understanding and prayers. Earthquakes don't commonly happen over here, this was super terrifying we hope it won't happen again. The Northridge quake must have been awful, glad you survived!

So the earthquake 2 days ago in Taiwan is the direct shot to earths crust. Sure to feel quakes elsewhere. That quake was a 7.5! That’s huge.
They must have forgotten the one that happened in the early 2000s that cracked the Washington Monument that one was a 5.0 earthquake.

@@damier846I think you mean "ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS"...
in 2001, I went through a 6.8 quake where the epicentre was only 11 miles from my house in Olympia, WA. luckily, it was 33 miles deep. it still shook hard enough to do a fair amount of damage.
My Dad was in a couple of large one in Los Angeles.
I was there, in Tacoma at the time
I've also been in L A., too, during the San Fernandoe quake
@@WolfRoss did he go through the Northridge one? my mom and brother did.
I remember that earthquake well. 😳
My coworker was in my office talking to me at the time (Hillsborough NJ, about 15 miles from the epicenter) That deep loud scary rumble started and then the whole building jumped, we both literally thought we just got nuked. We shook hands and said been great knowing ya 🤣
I was right near the epicenter and I gotta say, that was very intense.. Felt like my apartment was going to explode.. like a low, but loud thundering roll from underneath me.. was so intense I felt it in my soul! Was amazing.. It originally was subtle, I looked at my cat and he had all his arms/leg spread as if to say, "WTF was that?" Then 2 seconds later it quickly got louder and louder. I thought it was about to be a gas explosion, because the day prior my neighbor left their gas stove on, causing a whole situation. Wasn't until it continued that I realized it was an Earthquake. Not gonna lie it was quite terrifying for that short period of time.. gave me brief anxiety.
There is a lot to thank God for it could be worse
Yeah I'm sure that in earthquakes which kill many, many thousands of people...everyone's thanking a god! Geese!
Could be worse. Donald Tr*** could be taking credit for it. Or blaming Biden.
He has plenty of reason to bring forth his wrath 🕊️

That 4.8 earthquake is big news on the east coast cause they aren’t used to it. A 4.8 in California would barely make the evening news
Exodus 4:8 says if they don’t recognize the first sign they will the second
I remember watching a Movie back in the 90s about an earthquake in LA. Scared the witts out of me as a child. Taiwan just had an earthquake too. Prayers that everyone gets the support they need❤
Hang in there east coasters. It can be scary if you never felt one. You all will be fine. Thoughts and prayers from Southern California.
Thank you.
It seems scarier when it happens at night.
You can check the "921 Major Earthquake" in Taiwan in 1999. The earthquake occurred at 1 o'clock in the morning. Many people in Taiwan were sleeping at that time. The huge earthquake destroyed Taiwan's mountainous areas and cities. Many people were crushed to death by the rubble in their sleep. The building collapsed, leaving more than 3,000 people dead and missing.
10:25 AM, 1:30 PM, 6 PM - multiple rumblings in different timings on April 5th in NJ.
Imagine lived in Westchester Country, about 50 minutes outside of New York City. We lived about 20 minutes from the Indian Point nuclear power plant. Imagine finding out, many years after it was built, that the northern terminus of the Ramapo fault was right under the power plant. That’s right. They had built a nuclear power plant right at a fault line. When that made the news, Westchester County was obliged to put an evacuation plan together just in case. They did, but on examination, the reality was that it was really impossible to evacuate the number of people living in the area in case an earthquake caused a power plant disaster. Forget Westchester County for a moment. The nuclear power plant was about 35 miles from the center of midtown Manhattan, as the crow flies. It was finally closed in 2021, after being on line for 45 years. Great planning right there.

Were you here for the August 2011 Earthquake? Coincidentally we also had a Hurricane 2 days later (Irene). Today we have an Earthquake with the epicenter 6 miles away from Trumps Bedminster Golf course (maybe God is mad at him lol) that affected the entire tri-state area, and we will have a 90% partial eclipse in 3 days.

Just hearing the words New York City and Earthquake spoken in the same sentence is wild. Im 41 going on 42 and never experienced Earthquakes (Hurricanes and Tornadoes yes, Earthquakes no) until 12 years ago right here in NYC when that 5.8 hit Virginia, but that wasn’t really the Northeast we just felt it because it was shallow and Quakes on the east coast travel farther than the west coast. But todays was in the Northeast just west of the City, makes you take pause. And then just in January while weak yes, our very own fault line in NYC which it seems many people are unaware we have had a 1.7 quake with the epicenter on Roosevelt Island. But quakes have happened historically here before but now they are getting stronger. Seems the East Coast is no longer safe from Earthquakes.
Great coverage!
Let’s hope we sleep soundly tonight
We shall see
Hopefully there won't be anymore after shocks.
Praying y'all do. Cuz my partner lives in an old apartment, thankfully in the sheepshead area, so quite away from the epicenter, but still felt aftershocks just a few hrs ago

I felt the earthquake here in Chelmsford MA. It was very mild here, I felt the apartment building I live in mildly sway back and forth while I was sitting by my desk. If felt like a mild dizzy spell that I sometimes get, but nothing moved or fell off shelves. It almost felt like a huge truck had gone by outside. Not many people who live in this town even noticed it. Guess only if you were in the upper stories of a building would it have been felt.
EARTHQUAKES ....PREDICTED PERFECTLY YET AGAIN AT SUSPICIOUS OBSERVERS ...the best best space weather channel
👍 also a SO listener! Was surprised there was an earthquake in NY and NJ! Didn’t know there’s a fault line there? What caused this?
Wow! That earthquake was strong. This brings me back memories from my country Colombia. Very scary
For all you folks not use to these Earthquakes, the first thing you ask is the depth of the quake….of course magnitude matters but the depth is the key….usually single digit depth no matter how big is going to be felt through a wide area.
The human commentary was excellent, thanks for the report.
Awestruck by way of California..you guys were shaking. Glad your alright. Yes sitting on my couch rocking in California bunches.

I was in the SF Bay Area for one little earthquake (my first) and the next day nobody was talking about it. So I asked a local and he said, that’s not an earthquake. Unless it’s 7.0+ they don’t even care.
Yep, that's about it.....the Loma Prieta quake pretty well got everyone's attention though. Whole freeways collapsed.
I was in Nepal in April 2015 when i experienced 7.8 quake followed by 8.1 the next day. Both were a minute long and i remember staying outside for at least a month. My dad makes copper sculptures which are normally 2 floors tall and in the workshop i remember seeing those heavy metallic sculptors shift front and back and left to right. Just imagine how big this was.
I would not have wanted to have a sculpture fall on me 😮
I can feel how people in NJ were scared during earthquake because I experienced two big ones in Japan in 1997 and 2011. Best wishes for them.
Love light and healing to all affected individuals. My thoughts and prayers are with you all ❤
I'm expecting someone to blame climate change/global warming for the quake, like they do everything else.
man I am soooo sorry for the folks who have to find another place to live. Prayers for you all.
I live in Philadelphia and I live on the top floor of a high rise apartment building. We felt the earthquake all the waydown here. My building shook like it was on rubber bands !! I wasn't scared but it felt weird. Knowing the damage that an earthquake can do, I fear for the safety and integrity of our highways and bridges. The next time a bridge collapses, like it did in Baltimore a few weeks ago, it won't be caused by a ship hitting it but because almost no attention has been paid to funding the repairs and upkeep and another major disaster, could be waiting in the wings.😮
Need prayers ..
We get hundreds of quakes a day here in NZ most you don't feel. They average 4,5 or 6 surprised to see damage there for such a mild quake but understand why. Hope you cope ok and get through it as you aren't used to it as we kiwi's are in our shakey Isles.
We aren’t used to earthquakes in this part of the US. Very uncommon, so the buildings aren’t as well-equipped to handle them. Those houses also looked older which is why they sustained damage.

We felt it over here in Pennsylvania north of Philadelphia. I actually got a chance to see the fault line in person. You can visit Crystal Cave in Kutztown Pennsylvania and once in the cave you descend to a section where the fault line is clearly visible horizontal between two sections of different colored rock. It’s actually really cool. I wonder if the cave noticed a measurable shift.
I had a dream that my house was being directly hit by a tornado. I was just standing there watching my house slowly disintegrate around me, with the winds shaking everything violently. Then I was woken up by everything shaking. I literally panicked and thought "Oh sh*t! Its real!" I'm in the suburbs of Philly, so it wasn't quite so bad here. I hope all in the area are fine and that rebuilding and recovering is quick!

Man, as a Utah/Socal native these things don't really bother me, but I feel for you all. If you don't have the seismic codes or experience this has got to be scary. Glad it wasn't above a 5. That's when I start to pay attention. Better to have a few small ones than one big one.
My first earthquake was the Sylmar Earthquake in 1971. It was a 6.5 and it did a huge amount of damage for an earthquake measuring under 7.0. That was the earthquake that was the catalyst for 'earthquake retrofitting' to shore up existing structures so they could better withstand a powerful earthquake. Folks on the East Coast might want to consider looking into retrofitting. If they can have a 4.8, then they can have stronger, too.
In that one my Dads entire fireplace ended up in the driveway, still erect. Odd…
You may want to correct your comment as the largest on east coast Maryland had a 5.8 August 2011
That's what you get for not building earthquake-proof buildings. I'm in Taiwan, and only a few buildings were damaged by Wednesday's 7.2 quake, only nine people lost. A 7.2 quake is almost 4000 times stronger than a 4.8 quake.
First of all, there are 50 states in the US, each one has their own laws. Second of all, there is a standard to how buildings are built, they are all built to withstand small earthquakes.
Sure, but new york and new jersey isn't as close to the major fault lines, taiwan is near it.
Sir, shut up and take several seats
Theres like never earth quakes there.
Whose fault is it? Unintentional pun
These people are traumatized by a 4.8. There was a 7+ one in Taiwan, guy was hit by a giant boulder that crashed right into his car. He got out and assisted in his own rescue, helped a mother in labor and cooked food for his entire home town. 🤷🏻♀️
Even a small quake could potentially trigger an event which ends up killing people or causing a lot of damage. Buildings and infrastructure aren't as well designed for resisting earthquakes in the Eastern US, or in almost any area where there aren't as many earthquakes, so a smaller quake can still be quite dangerous in these areas, though this 4.8 one really didn't seem that bad.
Calm down, nobody was traumatized.
The worst thing that has ever happened to you is the worst thing that has ever happened to you.
You aren't wrong but they got some minor damage, because they have zero earthquake codes for construction back east. Wait till they have an actual major quake, like the New Madrid fault going off again. It will make the 1906 quake in California look like nothing, because they have no codes at all.
@@syncmonismthank you for some common sense. People are weird, the way things are going anything goes…..it would have scared me, could have been a bomb.
