A rare earthquake rocked New York City on Friday morning, swaying buildings and sending terrified residents into the streets — as the strongest tremblor to hit New York City in 130 years.
The preliminary 4.8-magnitude earthquake struck near Lebanon, New Jersey, around 10:23 a.m., the first time a major temblor hit the city since 2011.according to the US Geological Survey.
“I was doing my morning reporting, and this safe in my office, that’s a ton, starts shaking. The whole room is shaking,” said Monique Horton, who works at the Balmain store on Madison Avenue in Manhattan. “I was just freaked out. Scary, really scary. I’m a New Yorker, my whole life, 36 years, never seen anything like it.”
At the United Nations in Midtown Manhattan, a Security Council address on the Israel-Gaza conflict was interrupted as cameras began shuddering.
