A 2.4 magnitude earthquake jolted the northern New Jersey region near New York City Friday afternoon, the U.S. Geological Survey says. The agency, which tracks earthquakes across the world, reported the small earthquake shortly after 1 p.m. and said it was centered about 1 kilometer east-southeast of Paramus in Bergen County.

A 3.8-magnitude earthquake off the coast of Maine rattled residents from Boston to Connecticut on Monday and was felt as far away as Albany.
