Earthquake near Paramus, NJ, today: Did you feel it?
The USGS says the earthquake happened around 1:02 p.m in Bergen County between Paramus and River Edge. Back on April 5, 2024 a 4.8-magnitude earthquake shook NYC and the Tri-State area. Earthquakes are less common on the eastern than on the western edges of the U.S. because the East Coast does not lie on a boundary of tectonic plates.
