New York City can’t seem to “Shake it Off” just yet following Friday’s New Jersey earthquake and related aftershocks that have kept everyone on edge.
No fewer than 27 aftershocks have occurred nearly a day after the 4.8 tremor struck near Whitehouse Station, NJ — about 60 miles west of the five boroughs — at 10:23 a.m. on April 5, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The earthquake rattled the five boroughs, with many New Yorkers experiencing shaking inside their homes and offices for 10 seconds or even longer.
