The USGS's Latest Earthquake web application displays real-time and near-real-time information for magnitude 2.5 or greater earthquakes in the country. Earthquakes are symbolized on the application as circles, with their size indicating the magnitude. Red circles represent earthquakes that occurred within the past hour, blue circles denote earthquakes within the past day, and yellow circles indicate earthquakes that took place within the past week. Currently, the application shows that 40 earthquakes with a magnitude of 2.5 or greater have occurred in the past day. Users experiencing issues loading the application can access the legacy Latest Earthquakes application. The USGS advises individuals to take precautions in the event of an earthquake, including: * Dropping to the ground, taking cover under a sturdy table or desk, and holding on until the shaking stops. * Staying away from windows, outside doors, and walls. * If driving, pulling over to the side of the road and stopping until the shaking subsides. * Checking for injuries and damage after the earthquake.

**4.8 Magnitude Earthquake Shakes New York City Area** The United States Geological Survey (USGS) has reported that a magnitude 4.8 earthquake struck near Whitehouse Station, New Jersey, on Friday morning. The temblor was felt across the New York City metropolitan area, rattling buildings and causing some damage. According to the USGS, the earthquake occurred at approximately 5 miles east of Whitehouse Station at a depth of about 1 mile. The quake was initially reported as a magnitude 4.5, but was later revised to 4.8. The earthquake is the strongest to hit the New York City area since a magnitude 4.0 quake in October 2019. While the quake caused some damage, including cracked walls and broken windows, no major injuries have been reported. The USGS has issued a statement saying that the earthquake was caused by the movement of the Ramapo Fault, which runs through northern New Jersey and southeastern New York State. The fault is known to be active, and has produced several earthquakes in the past, including a magnitude 5.2 quake in 1884. The USGS is continuing to monitor the situation and has issued an advisory for residents in the affected area to be prepared for aftershocks.
**Southern California Rocked by Dozens of Earthquakes, Including a 4.8 Magnitude Event** Southern California experienced a flurry of seismic activity overnight, with over a dozen earthquakes registered in the region. The largest of these was a 4.8 magnitude quake that struck Imperial County near the California-Mexico border on Thursday. According to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the 4.8 magnitude earthquake occurred at 11:41 p.m. PDT on Thursday night. The epicenter was located about 10 miles northwest of Ocotillo, near the U.S. border with Mexico. The quake was widely felt in the surrounding areas, including San Diego and El Centro. In addition to the 4.8 magnitude quake, several other significant earthquakes were recorded in the region. These included a 4.0 magnitude quake near Ocotillo on Thursday and a 4.2 magnitude quake near the California-Arizona border on Friday. The USGS reports that the cluster of earthquakes is likely related to the nearby San Andreas Fault. The San Andreas Fault is a major tectonic boundary between the Pacific and North American plates. It is capable of generating large earthquakes, including those that can cause significant damage. Residents in the affected areas are urged to be prepared for the possibility of aftershocks. They should also take precautions to protect themselves and their property in the event of an earthquake.
