Days after lighting struck the Statue of Liberty during a rainstorm, the iconic landmark was seen shaking during a 4.8-magnitude earthquake that rattled the New York City area on Friday.

EarthCam video footage showed the statue and the New York City skyline trembling when the earthquake struck near Califon, New Jersey, around 10:23 a.m. An angle from directly above Lady Liberty caught Ellis Island shaking during the incident, the video shows.

“Lady Liberty has had a rough week,” someone commented on X.

Approximately 42 million people felt the earthquake, per the USGS. It appears to have shaken areas as far south as Washington D.C. and as far north as the New York-Canada border. The shaking lasted several seconds.

There were no injuries or structural damages reported in New York City, but three buildings in Newark were compromised and deemed unsafe.

The largest earthquake ever recorded in New York City’s history was a 5.2-magnitude quake in 1884, according to NYC Emergency Management.

    But if they give you a visa to permanently reside in that country you will accept and go there right? Probably you got rejected for a visa.

    For your information: New York is a city in the USA, not in Russia, Iran, China, Myanmar, North Korea, Afghanistan etc.....

    Can't wait till this white America is going to be nuked soon. Whole world is suffering from these European colonisers. War and genocide is what these Europeans are committing all around the world. Sri Lankans you better leave this satanic America or you all will die soon. West is no place for us because nazies are coming to power soon.

    Yes, God's power worked as there were no casualties and there was only minimum damage. Zunami in Asia caused by whom then?
