A minor, 2.3-magnitude earthquake struck about 12 miles north of New York City on Tuesday, according to the United States Geological Survey.
The temblor happened at 10:17 a.m. Eastern in Sleepy Hollow, N.Y., data from the agency shows.
The Westchester County emergency services department said in a statement that it had not received any reports of damage.
As seismologists review available data, they may revise the earthquake’s reported magnitude. Additional information collected about the earthquake may also prompt U.S.G.S. scientists to update the shake-severity map.
