Sharjah 24 – Reuters: A rare 4.8-magnitude earthquake struck near New York City on Friday morning, surprising residents across the region.
Tremors were felt from Pennsylvania to Massachusetts, but there were no reports of major damage.

The quake prompted temporary flight delays and the closure of the Holland Tunnel for inspection.
