Former President Donald Trump’s New Jersey golf course and home were recently impacted by a 2.0 magnitude aftershock from the 4.8 earthquake that shook the Northeast on Friday morning, with residents warning tremors could last a week via Daily Mail.
It has been noted that The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) reported a quake with a preliminary magnitude of 4.8, centered near Lebanon, New Jersey, about 50 miles west of New York City at 10.23am and was felt by more than 42 million people.
The Trump National Golf Club Bedminster is less than seven miles from the epicenter of the quake and was shook by an aftershock hours later. It is not known if the club sustained any damage.
It has come to light that there are no initial reports of threats to life across the Northeast but the USGS stated that there is a 46 percent likelihood of another earthquake with a magnitude of 3.0 or higher to hit in the next week.
Gov Kathy Hochul provided an update shortly before noon saying: ‘This is one of the largest earthquakes on the East Coast to occur in the last century.’
She stated that her office is in contact with all the relevant agencies to oversee any damage and structural integrity concerns and that the White House has offered aid.
The Fire Department of New York stated that there were no initial reports of damage and there have been no reported injuries so far. However, the FAA has ordered ground stops at John F Kennedy and Newark International airports.
