Source: RLS Media
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has confirmed that a magnitude 3.0 earthquake struck near Hasbrouck Heights, New Jersey, around 10:22 p.m. this evening.
Residents across North Jersey and as far south as Trenton reported feeling the tremor, with many in Harrison taking to social media to share their surprise over the shaking.
Residents in upstate New York as far away as Westchester and Rockland also felt tremors.
While no damage or injuries have been reported, the quake served as a startling reminder that earthquakes, though rare in New Jersey, can still be felt across a wide area.

As soon as the police shut them up, the earthquake happened!
Crazy.

I don't know if that is worrysome or not, but perhaps the mini earthquakes left off energy in little chunks at a time.
