New York & New Jersey residents experienced the shock of a lifetime the morning of Friday, April 5, when a 4.8-magnitude earthquake rattled portions of the East Coast, including New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania. The earthquake occurred at roughly 10:20 a.m. Eastern time and had an epicenter in Tewksbury and Redington townships in Hunterdon County.
New Jersey residents reported feelings of shaking and swaying. One resident told CBS News, "I honestly thought it was just a forklift that hit something because I was on the phone with my partner at work, and he said all of a sudden the building started to shake."
Some residents as far north as Maine also felt the tremors. While residents in Virginia also reported feeling tremors. An estimated 42 million people felt the earthquake.
Friday’s earthquake caused flight delays in travel hubs such as New York, New Jersey, Baltimore, and Philadelphia. Delays in New Jersey’s Newark Liberty National Airport lasted for an estimated two hours. Air traffic resumed as normal at 12:30 P.M. EST, according to the Federal Aviation Administration’s post on X.
The earthquake also resulted in delays in railroad transportation. New Jersey Transit reported twenty-minute delays for all rail services in both directions.
According to the Associated Press, there have been around 20 earthquakes on the East Coast above a magnitude of 4.5 since 1950. This is compared to over 1,000 earthquakes on the West Coast during that period of time.
The last East Coast earthquake occured in Mineral Virginia in 2011, with a 5.8 magnitude.
According to the United States Geological Survey, known as the USGS, the earthquake’s epicenter was located in New Jersey, near Redington. New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy posted on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, that New Jersey activated the State of Emergency Operations Center in response to the historic quake. The State of Emergency Operations Center was deactivated at 10 a.m. on the morning of April 6.
Governor Murphy reassured residents in a statement posted to X, saying, “We have had no reports of major damage to structures, roadways, or infrastructure as a result of yesterday’s earthquake.”
One structural casualty of the earthquake was a 264-year-old mill that ‘fed Washington’s troops’ in Redington.
Following the earthquake, New Jersey experienced 47 aftershocks. Aftershocks are the geological phenomenon wherein a series of smaller earthquakes occurs following the main shock, according to the USGS. Aftershocks help the faults ‘readjust.’ They can occur for weeks or months following the main earthquake.
The most recent aftershock in New Jersey was recorded at 8:05 p.m. on Wednesday, April 10, by the Us Geological Survey.

"This Year, Moose Jaw Truck Shop is Ready for Anything from A to Diesel"
Saskatchewan, CA--Everyone sets goals for the New Year, whether they want to travel somewhere new or learn a new skill or hobby. Justin Pryor, owner of Moose Jaw Truck Shop in Saskatchewan, CA, wants to expand his message and range of services to communities across Canada. While Moose Jaw Truck Shop built a stellar reputation for helping customers maintain their diesel trucks, in 2024, Pryor wants to tackle the automotive market, including automobiles, minivans, and other family vehicles.
“Prior to this we were dominating Diesel only, but there’s only so many Diesel trucks,” Pryor explained in an exclusive interview with NYnewsyork.com. He continued, “Everybody knows we do that, so we want to push more into the automotive world.” There’s no limit to the type of cars Pryor’s team will service.
Available services include oil changes, brake repairs, tire repairs, and engine repairs. Currently, oil changes are only $37 for automobiles.
Pryor is seen above, hired two additional mechanics who specialized in automobiles to accommodate the expansion. All Moose Jaw Truck Shop employees currently undergo weekly training and are constantly looking for ways to improve the quality of their services. They look forward to continuing to grow. This tenacity and attention to detail is reflected in Moosejaw Truck Shop’s new slogan, the best just keeps getting better.
Though the range of services has expanded, the shop's layout will remain the same. For automotive shops, first impressions set the tone for the customer experience. Moosejaw Truck Shop prides itself on curating an inviting and welcoming environment for new and returning customers. Moose Jaw Truck Shop provides snacks, including cookies shaped like the shop’s logo, for customers waiting on their vehicles.
There’s even a drop box at the front door for customers to drop their keys if they don’t have time to wait. Customers do not need an appointment to use the drop box. Moose Jaw Truck Shop also has loaner vehicles available. Pryor and his team work hard to ensure customers leave the shop feeling informed and prepared.
“It’s not always fixed the same day, but they can leave with a plan,” Pryor explained. Once customers drop off their vehicles, Pryor and his team conduct a pre-inspection of the “vitals,” including tires and fluids. The pre-inspection includes a thirty-point checklist.
Once your vehicle is up and running again, Moose Jaw Truck Shop offers a text message program that sends customers convenient reminders to keep the maintenance of their vehicle on track.
To get the word out about the expansion, Pryor partnered with Golden West Broadcasting, a Canadian community-based radio station that broadcasts to smaller communities throughout Canada, including Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. Together, Pryor and Golden West Broadcasting are launching a new marketing campaign for Moose Jaw Truck Shop featuring a new character named Aotto, who is a diehard fan of Moosejaw Truck Shop. 
Moose Jaw Truck Shop is located at 22 Lancaster Rd, Moose Jaw, SK S6J 1M3. They are open Monday-Friday from 7:30 A.M. to 5:30 P.M. and are closed on weekends.
