A magnitude 4.7 earthquake shook the coast of the northeastern United States on Friday morning.
The earthquake was felt from Boston down to Baltimore, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
Many incoming flights at the three major airports in and just outside York City were being diverted from landing, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.
“Everyone @NYSE just gave each other a big look,” CNBC’s Carl Quintanilla tweeted from the New York Stock Exchange in lower Manhattan.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul in a tweet said, “My team is assessing impacts and any damage that may have occurred, and we will update the public throughout the day.”
The epicenter of the quake was detected about 4.5 miles north, northeast of Whitehouse Station, New Jersey, according to the USGS.
