There were no reports of damage or injuries, authorities said. However, there are many reports of people feeling buildings shaking, and in some areas, workers in offices took to the streets as a precaution. After the earthquake, New Yorkers received a warning message from authorities advising them to stay home and call 911 if they were injured.
There were reports of an earthquake in other areas of the East Coast, such as Baltimore or Connecticut. The earthquake occurred two days after another, stronger one struck Taiwan, killing at least 12 people. There are still dozens of people missing in this Asian region, and hundreds of people need to be rescued in the mountains of Hualien. Relief efforts were hampered by the risk of landslides.
