After Shocks Rocks
Southeast Queens and
The Tri-State Area
By Kamau Austin
An unnerving 4.8 level earthquake hit the tri-state area with New Jersey, being the epicenter of the vibrations spreading all over the tri-state area into Southeast Queens. The tremor was very disorientating waking some area residents up at about 10:23 in the morning.
Residents in Bricktown, in Jamaica, Queens, were alarmed at houses shaking in an unnerving alarming fashion. Residents in St. Albans, attested the quake shook homes and had some neighbors running outside their homes in a incredulous fashion.
Many members of the large and influential BlaQue Resource Network, began to communicate with each other about the earthquake in their group of over 32,000 members. Some Queens residents who didn't recognize the earthquake tremor called 911 only to receive busy signals.
Searches on Google, took over a half hour to show any updated information on the quake. Most of the references to earthquakes on Google early on were of the quake on January, 24th, 2024. That quake was mostly in Astoria, Queens and was only 1.7 which was still unnerving to some in the area.
Another after shock was felt at 5:59 pm. Mayor Adams and City Hall address the earthquake early on in the day below...
