Temblor follows notable 4.8 magnitude earthquake felt in NYC

The earthquake, one of the strongest in state history, took place just after 10:20 a.m. local time about 5 miles north of Whitehouse Station. The epicenter was about 45 miles from New York City, where residents reported shaking furniture and floors.

That temblor took place two days before a major 7.4-magnitude earthquake hit Taiwan killing 12 people and injuring more than 1,000 others. The strongest earthquake there in a quarter century was followed by a series of aftershocks, reaching up to 6.4 magnitude.
