HASBROUCK HEIGHTS – Residents in New Jersey and New York were rattled by a magnitude 3.0 earthquake on Saturday evening.

The U.S. Geological Survey said that the earthquake struck at 10:18 p.m. ET near Hasbrouk Heights , New Jersey as a result of faulting at shallow depths in the crust.

"Although this event did not occur near a plate boundary, such "intraplate" earthquakes can and do occur, the USGS said. "While this earthquake is relatively small globally, earthquakes of this magnitude are commonly widely felt in the eastern United States because of efficient seismic wave propagation in the region."
