Tuesday's incident comes on the heels of a 3.0-magnitude earthquake in Bergen County's Hasbrouck Heights Saturday night that rattled parts of New Jersey and New York. Saturday night's earthquake was felt up to 65 miles away in parts of New York's Lower Hudson Valley and western Connecticut.

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.

A small earthquake centered in northern New Jersey on Tuesday rattled the New York City metropolitan area, officials said.
