New York City doesn’t have earthquakes often. On April 25, 2024, at 10:23 AM, a magnitude 4.8 earthquake struck New Jersey and was felt in New York City. Almost immediately, “I survived the NYC earthquake” T-shirts were printed.

Wikipedia: 2024 New Jersey earthquake
On April 5, 2024, at 10:23 EDT (14:23 UTC), a Mw 4.8 earthquake occurred in the U.S. state of New Jersey. While felt across the New York City and Philadelphia metropolitan areas and other parts of the northeastern United States, it had relatively minor impacts, with no major damage reported in the State of New York and “limited damage” in New Jersey.
 
Wikipedia: Seismicity of the New York City area
Seismicity of the New York City area is lower than in locations directly on the Mid-Atlantic plate boundary like Iceland and the Azores. The largest known earthquake in this region occurred in 1884, probably somewhere between Brooklyn and Sandy Hook, and had a magnitude of approximately 5. East Coast earthquakes affect a larger area than those of comparable magnitude on the West Coast because of the hard bedrock of the region. The New York quakes in 2023 and 2024 were shallow quakes.
