LEBANON, N.J. (WABC) -- Residents across the Tri-State reported feeling shaking as an earthquake rocked the region Friday morning.

The U.S. Geological Survey confirmed a magnitude 4.8 earthquake occurred near Whitehouse Station, New Jersey.

New York City sustained no major impacts from the earthquake, though it was widely felt across the city, according to City Hall.

The FDNY and NYPD both said there were no immediate reports of damage, but both agencies are monitoring the situation.

The MTA reported just before 11 a.m. that there was no damage or service disruption to the New York City subway system.

Con Edison said they have no reports of outages or damage.

New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy said the epicenter was in Hunterdon County and the State Emergency Operations Center has been activated. The governor asked residents not to call 911 unless they have an actual emergency.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said her team is assessing impacts and any damage that may have occurred.

I was in Miami with our family and missed the whole lotta shaking going on up here in NJ! Our flight back home was delayed an hour because of this. Not exactly sure the FAA grounded flights because of it.

Rumor is the ladies from The View went out for a jog at around the time the quake struck.
