A 2.4 magnitude earthquake is considered very light. Friday’s earthquake was given a V for intensity with moderate shaking and very light damage by the USGS.

A 4.8-magnitude earthquake rocked the East Coast last April. That earthquake was reported along the Ramapo Fault Line in western NJ. Many aftershocks followed.
