Earthquake Aftershocks Continue Into Monday In the HV

HUDSON VALLEY, NY — The U.S. Geological Service reported two small aftershocks Monday morning, after a weekend that was very seismically active in the region.

Friday's earthquake — the largest in the region for more than a century — occurred around 10:23 a.m. 4.3 miles north of Whitehouse Station, New Jersey, at a depth of 2.9 miles.

Since then, the United States Geological Survey has reported 41 aftershocks, including one Friday evening with a 3.8 magnitude.

Around midnight Monday, small aftershocks were recorded near Whitehouse Station and Gladstone. At 1.4 and 1.5 magnitude, they were much smaller than Friday's earthquake, which shook a large part of the mid-Atlantic region with a preliminary magnitude of 4.8.

"According to our forecast, there is a 1% chance of one or more aftershocks that are larger than magnitude 5, which can be damaging, within the next week," the USGS said, adding the area could record up to 10 aftershocks in the next week that measure at a magnitude 3 or higher.
