Earthquake hits NYC! 4.8 magnitude quake rattles the Big Apple

Donald Trump 's New Jersey golf course was rocked by a 2.0 magnitude aftershock from the 4.8 earthquake that shook the Northeast on Friday morning, with residents warning tremors could last a week.

Gov Kathy Hochul gave an update shortly before noon saying: 'This is one of the largest earthquakes on the East Coast to occur in the last century.' The Fire Department of New York said there were no initial reports of damage and there have been no reported injuries so far, but the FAA has ordered ground stops at John F Kennedy and Newark International airports.

'I encourage New Yorkers to check on their loved ones to see that they are fine. Not only for the infrastructure situation, but because this is can be extremely traumatic.' Some Brooklyn residents heard a booming sound and their building shaking. In an apartment house in Manhattan’s East Village, a resident from more earthquake-prone California calmed nervous neighbors.In a video from a New Jersey a dog sits up suddenly, seconds before the rooms shakes violently

'My team is assessing impacts and any damage that may have occurred, and we will update the public throughout the day.'
