HILLSDALE, N.J. (AP) — A second small earthquake rattled the New York metropolitan area on Tuesday within several days of another. The 2.7 magnitude earthquake struck a little after noon near suburban Hillsdale, New Jersey, about 10 miles (16 kilometers) northwest of the Bronx in New York City, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

When you think of earthquake danger zones in the United States, it's unlikely that New Jersey is at the top of your list. However, the Garden State has been something of a hotbed of seismic activity this week.

The quake was the second one to hit the New York City metro region four days. Both earthquakes were centered in Bergen County. On Saturday night, a 3.0 magnitude earthquake was centered northeast of Hasbrouck Heights, about 10 kilometers below the surface, according to the USGS.
