3.0 Magnitude Earthquake Hits New York, New Jersey

New York and New Jersey shook on Motzei Shabbos following a 3.0 magnitude earthquake felt across the tri-state area

In a rare event, southern New York including NYC, Rockland County and New Jersey shook on Motzei Shabbos Tisha B’Av following a 3.0 magnitude earthquake which struck New Jersey and was felt across the tri-state area.

Yidden from the frum communities of Flatbush, Boro Park, Teaneck and Union City reported to FrumNews.com that they had felt the quake.

Tremors were felt as far away as Kiryas Yoel.

The last significant earthquake in New York/New Jersey was in 2024 at 4.8 magnitude, with strong aftershocks.

The bracha to say after a earthquake and other natural phenomena’s:

ברוך אתה ה’ א-לקינו מלך העולם, עשה מעשה בראשית

New York Governor Kathy Hochul, NYC Mayor Eric Adams and New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy said they are monitoring the situation, and activated emergency operations centers.

    does anyone even know or remember the shocking message DIRECTLY FROM HASHEM of the earthquake last year-mentioned in the newsletter above-that happened 3 days before the solar eclipse that hit the world?
    Every tragedy has a wake up call message directly from Hashem that you’re not going to find in any sefer in the world or read in any newspaper from a Gadol Hador or speaker saying about the tragedy. And neither is it from me a businessman internet writer

    THE MESSAGE
    In April of 2024 the Tri-state area of the United States was hit by a 4.8 Magnitude Earthquake. On the date of 4/8/24 April 8th just 3 days after the earthquake mentioned above happened a Solar Eclipse was in the skies of the United States that anyone who looked at the Sun during the time it happened, their eye vision can Chas VShalom be badly affected. What does the Passuk of 4:8 say in sefer Shemos? Hashem is talking to Moshe Rabbeinu to be Hashem’s messenger to take the Yidden out of Mitzrayim and is showing Moshe Rabbeinu signs to show them for trust in Hashem with the first sign of his stick turning into a snake and the second sign of his hand becoming white like snow and what does the Passuk of 4:8 say exactly? “It shall be that if they do not believe you and do not heed the voice of the first sign, they will believe the voice of the latter sign”. That’s the Passuk of 4:8 in Sefer Shemos earthquake at a 4.8 magnitude degree 3 days before the Solar Eclipse on 4/8/24 with all of them coming up with the same exact number of 4/8 in 3 different ways of sentence, degree and date. How does that shock you? How does that grab you? Do you think it’s just a coincidence? We all know the fact and truth that “there’s no such a thing as coincidence” and everything has a direct message from Hashem.

    So what exactly is the message DIRECTLY FROM HASHEM regarding this earthquake and Solar Eclipse that happened just 3 days apart from each other? The message is that If we think we can continue to live in denial and not accept Hashem’s wake up call for serious Teshuva and Achdus together then Hashem will Have to tragically send another wake up call after the tragic earthquake already happened of the Solar Eclipse happening that can damage a person’s vision for life and then maybe klal yisroel will finally listen to Hashem’s wake up call for serious Teshuva and Achdus together so Hashem can send Mashiach already b’karov.
