Another earthquake rattled the Hudson Valley on Tuesday afternoon.
The magnitude 2.7 earthquake was centered just southwest of Hillsdale, New Jersey shortly after 12 p.m.
“It was loud, a loud burst," says Ralph, who lives in Eastchester.
“It sounded like an explosion that came out of my basement," said Scarsdale resident Bob Selvaggio.
Somers resident Debbie Giannotti says she was still thinking of the earthquake from Saturday when this one hit.
“My dog really felt it first, he ran to the front door. I felt it but thought it was somebody rumbling a car," says Giannotti.
There have been no reports of damage or injuries in Westchester County.
