JetBlue said flights have resumed after the FAA issued brief ground stops at some New York area airports.

“We expect mostly normal operations to continue with a small number of delays as a result of a pause in air traffic control operations," the airline said in a statement.

Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey said there were flight disruptions as of this afternoon, and advised people to check their flight status with their individual airlines.

Delta Air Lines said that it was also experiencing minor departure delays, but did not anticipate cancellations.

This morning’s earthquake was captured live on Philadelphia’s 93.3 WMMR radio show, “The Preston & Steve Show.” 

The show shared footage from its Philadelphia office at 10:23 a.m. ET, showing mic booms shaking. 

“Did you feel the room shake?” co-host Kathy Romano asked. 

“Are we having an earthquake?” another host, Nick McIlwain, asked.

“You’re right. I feel my butt kind of moving a little bit. Look at my microphone, it was waggling a little bit there,” host Preston Elliot said.

Co-host Steve Morrison wondered if it could have been construction going on in the building. 

Then the hosts started reading texts from friends and messages sent in to the show confirming it was an earthquake felt well beyond the city. 

"That's the second earthquake I've ever felt," Elliot said.

Surveillance video from a coffee shop in Boonton, New Jersey, about 35 miles southwest of the earthquake's epicenter, shows customers' terrified reactions as the quake hit. Many rush out of Boonton Coffee Co. in one video and another clip shows a young girl yelling, "I don't want to die!"

Delta Air Lines flights are moving normally, a spokesperson said, with the exception of two flights bound for Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey, which were diverted elsewhere.

The airline is experiencing "some minor departure delays but we expect to absorb those without any cancelation effect at this time," said Morgan Durrant, a Delta spokesperson.

The company has not received any reports of damage or injuries, he added.

Newark airport reported flight disruptions on Friday afternoon.

“Please check with your airline to determine the status of your flight,” the airport said in a statement on X.

The American Museum of Natural History said it has not identified any damage to museum artifacts, but is doing a full inspection.

The Guggenheim Museum has not sustained any damages or interruptions to museum operations, either.

The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) said it’s operating as usual.

“Our security staff and engineers have conducted facilities wide patrols and found no damage to MoMA’s infrastructure. Registrar, art handling, and conservation teams have reported no issues seen in the galleries, conservation labs, or art storage," the museum said in a statement.

Maggie Fairs, vice president of external affairs for the Philadelphia Museum of Art, said the museum has protections in place for events such as earthquakes.

"There was no damage to the artwork at the museum from today’s earthquake," Fairs said. "As you can imagine with the collection such as ours, safeguards are in place to ensure the safety and well-being of the museum’s art collection."

The Federal Emergency Management Agency's Region 8 said there is a known earthquake risk in New Jersey, according to a post on X.

"While many folks may have been caught off guard by the #earthquake in New Jersey on Friday, you may be surprised to know there is a known earthquake risk in that area," the post read.

Monica Hlinka, who lives in Whitehouse Station, near the epicenter of this morning’s earthquake, said her “whole house shook for 45 seconds.”

Hlinka was working from home when she thought "something hit my house."

"It just kept going. The house just kept shaking," she told NBC News. "I was looking around my office, things were falling off my shelves, books were falling off, pictures frames."

"I've never experienced anything like that and it was insane to say the least," she added.

Hlinka said that she felt another temblor last month — a 2.2-magnitude quake on March 15 centered north, northeast of Whitehouse Station.

"When that occurred, it felt like something really big had fallen in my house, When it happened today, I thought the same thing was happening but then it just kept happening and I was like, OK, this is actually an earthquake."

The hashtags “earthquake,” “epicenter,” and “NY and NJ” were trending on X today with locals through the tri-state area freaking out over the quake.

All students in New York City's public schools are safe after the earthquake, and there are no reports of structural damage to any schools, said David Banks, New York City's public schools chancellor.

Speaking at a news conference along with NYC Mayor Eric Adams and emergency management officials, Banks said that "at this moment, there is no indication that any of our buildings were compromised."

He praised facilities staff for quickly and thoroughly inspecting school buildings and said parents do not need to pick their children up early from school. Principals have been instructed to hold regular dismissals and after-school programs will operate normally.

Banks encouraged parents to not be anxious.

"We ask the school staff and families to remain calm and to model that for all of our students," he said.

While earthquakes are uncommon on the East Coast, when they do strike, they are felt widely, said William Yeck, a research geophysicist at the U.S. Geological Survey.

“Because of the geology of the region, the seismic waves propagate much further, so people can feel them further away,” Yeck said.
