MANHATTAN, N.Y. (PIX11) -- PIX11 captured the moment when a 4.8 magnitude earthquake hit the New York City area on Friday morning.
The shaking, which lasted several seconds, started at 10:23 a.m. Actress Brittany Snow was in the middle of the New York Living segment when the earthquake began. The camera visibly shakes from side to side for several seconds as hosts Marysol Castro and Alex Lee chat with Snow.
The earthquake had a preliminary magnitude of 4.8, USGS officials said. The earthquake’s epicenter was 3.7 miles southeast of Califon, New Jersey, according to the USGS.
More than 120,000 responses poured into the USGS’s “Did You Feel It?” tool. Many of those were from reports in densely populated New York City, Boston and Philadelphia.
USGS figures indicate that the quake might have been felt by more than 42 million people.
