At around 10:18 PM, a 3.6 magnitude earthquake struck about 11 miles north of New York City, with tremors felt across several neighborhoods and into parts of New Jersey.

People described hearing loud rumbles, similar to a truck crashing, followed by light shaking. Some reported cabinets rattling and items shifting, though no injuries or major damage were reported.
