"Northeast Aftershocks: Unprecedented Earthquake Shakes East Coast"

The U.S. Geological Survey warns of potential aftershocks following a historic 4.8 magnitude earthquake near Whitehouse Station, New Jersey, with over a dozen aftershocks reported and a 60% probability of at least one more registering 3.0 magnitude or greater within the next week. While no significant damage or injuries were reported, experts emphasize earthquake safety measures and expect weaker aftershocks to occur, noting that the impact of earthquakes in the East is felt over a wider area compared to the West due to geological differences.
