The 4.8 magnitude earthquake that hit New York this Friday lasted only a handful of seconds. The slight tremor was felt in many neighborhoods in the boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn.
Authorities confirmed that the earthquake, which occurred at a depth of 5 km, did not cause any significant damage or immediate injuries. “We had goosebumps, because we know that we have no control over this kind of thing,” underlines the Brooklynite, “It was my first earthquake in New York”
