flag A magnitude 1.6 earthquake struck near Califon, New Jersey, on October 20, 2025, at 2:46 p.m., centered about 1.2 miles east-northeast of the town and 3.1 miles below the surface. flag The U.S. Geological Survey reported eight people felt the tremor, described as weak shaking similar to passing trucks, with no damage or injuries reported. flag This marks the second small quake in New Jersey within three days and the first felt since August 12, 2025. flag While the region experiences occasional minor quakes due to ancient, poorly mapped faults like the Ramapo Fault, major events are rare, with the strongest in state history reaching magnitude 5.3 in 1783. flag The USGS says moderate quakes occur about twice per century, but there is no sign of a larger event.
