A small earthquake shook parts of New Jersey and New York on Saturday night, according to officials.
A magnitude 3.0 earthquake occurred six miles underground in Hasbrouck Heights, NJ, at 10:18 p.m., as reported by the United States Geological Survey.
The Bergen County borough is roughly 13 miles from Midtown, and tremors could be felt in parts of Upper Manhattan and the Bronx.
There was a brief shaking for as much as 10 seconds in parts of the Garden State, with such shakes reported in Nutley, NJ, about nine miles north of Hasbrouck Heights.
A little bit about me (LoriLee) and WGOLV - What's going on in the Lehigh Valley:
I have been doing this to help the community for over 14 years. I'm a mom of four children, I absolutely adore them. I started this to help educate, inform, and keep the community safe through news, information - helping to provide community support to those in need - get word out on donations drives - animal rescues - missing persons, missing pets, Veterans organizations, canines, Mounted Patrol, first responders, and more. It's been a passion of mine to help people - using my time, talent, and treasures, so to speak.
WGOLV is all self-funded. I do this all myself, excluding some moderators checking for spam etc, and an occasional news article that someone might help with.
Your support through donations, fundraising is very important - even subscribing to the Facebook page of What's going on in the Lehigh Valley is so important. Through there, you can also receive discounts on advertising, behind-the-scenes information, and coffee meet-ups to discuss ideas, events. There is no corporate funding or big donors like many other local news publications have - We rely on the community. Your support means so much!
Student interns are always welcome and a great way to give back to your community while receiving credits for working with a local publication. There are so many opportunities. Volunteer opportunities are available as well. Some paid positions will also be available in the near future - event planning, coordination, marketing, and even travel. If you are interested, please reach out to me via e-mail at lorilee@wgolv.com.
Thank you!
