An underwater earthquake with a magnitude of 3.9 on the Richter scale was reported Tuesday morning, at 10:46 a.m., 79 miles south-southeast of Southampton, a seismologist from the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory in Palisades, New York, confirmed.
„It was widely felt with some reports coming in from Bergen County, New Jersey,” said Dr. Arthur Lerner-Lam, associate director in charge of seismology at the observatory. „It was a small earthquake but large for this area.” The earthquake also was felt in the New York Metropolitan area, he said.
