The Ramapo Fault System is part of the largest seismically active province in the Southeastern New York State: MORRISTOWN, N.J. (CBS) — For the second time in two weeks, a small earthquake has rattled an area of central New Jersey. But like the last quake in Morris County, no significant damage or injuries were reported. The latest earthquake, with a magnitude of 2.2, was recorded shortly before 5:30 p.m. Saturday, said Scott DiGiralomo, a coordinator with the county’s office of emergency management. He told The Star-Ledger of Newark that the quake’s epicenter was about 6 miles north of Boonton, and it was felt in neighboring Montville. An earthquake of magnitude 3.0 had rattled windows and alarmed residents of several Morris communities on Feb. 2 at 10:34 p.m., triggering a flood of 9-1-1 calls. “It sounded like an explosion and the house shook,” resident Dan Servidio said. The epicenter was five miles west-northwest of Morristown, along the Ramapo fault. It could be felt in Rockaway
