NEW YORK (Gray News) – A rare earthquake on the East Coast shook millions of people on Friday but thankfully caused no widespread damage.
Video from the EarthCam stationed at the top of the Statue of Liberty captured the moment the earthquake shook the iconic monument.
The camera, which is positioned in a way that looks like Lady Liberty is taking a selfie, shakes violently as it shows the statue and visitors below.
A report from the Associated Press said more than 42 million people likely felt the 4.8-magnitude earthquake, which was centered near Whitehouse Station, New Jersey, or about 45 miles west of New York City and 50 miles north of Philadelphia.
No injuries were reported. Officials say a 4.8-magnitude quake isn’t large enough to cause damage, except for some minor effects near the epicenter.
Still, the quake caused some disruptions. Several flights were diverted or delayed, and traffic was stopped for several minutes.
Over a dozen aftershocks were reported in the region.
According to the Associated Press, earthquakes are less common on the eastern than western edges of the U.S. because the East Coast does not lie on a boundary of tectonic plates.
