An earthquake struck the east coast of the United States on Friday, causing buildings to shake in New York City.

Officials reported a quake with a preliminary magnitude of 4.8, centered near Lebanon, New Jersey.

It struck just before 10.30 am local time.

There were no initial reports of damage, the Fire Department of New York confirmed.

The European Mediterranean Seismological Centre initially measured the quake at a magnitude of 5.5 magnitude.

New York Governor Kathy Hochul said the quake was “felt throughout” the state, with the United States Geological Survey estimating 42 million people may have experienced it.

Airlines flying into New York could expect delays of up to 45 minutes, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said.
