(CNN) —The US Geological Survey said the 4.8-magnitude earthquake struck at 10:23 a.m. Miami time. The quake was northeast of Lebanon, New Jersey, and tremors were felt from Philadelphia to New York City, according to reports.

The magnitude of the earthquake was revised from 4.7 to 4.8, and the depth of the earthquake was about 5 km (which is shallow).

The New York Police Department reported no damage or injuries.

The New York City Fire Department said the quake struck around 10:30 a.m. local time and the department received reports of buildings shaking.

“We are responding to calls and evaluating structural stability,” the department said in a statement. “There are no major incidents at this time,” he added.

Based on preliminary USGS data indications, small tremors are unlikely to cause damage.

In parts of New York City, residents ran out of their homes into the streets within minutes of the quake.

The epicenter was northeast of Lebanon, New Jersey, about 80 kilometers west of New York City, according to the USGS.

The mild earthquake was shallow, about 5 kilometers below the surface, so residents of the affected areas could easily feel the tremors. Initial reports indicated that tremors were widely felt in New York City, Philadelphia and Washington.
