ALERT: Aftershocks Expected For These New York Areas

While millions are waiting to witness the total solar eclipse, there are some that are still talking about the 4.8 magnitude earthquake that took place near New York City.

The forecast is calling for clouds to take over to start the week. Experts tell us that the solar eclipse darkness will still be seen and there may be some breaks in the clouds. But beyond the weather forecast for the weather, seismologists predict that there may be some aftershocks in the New York and New Jersey areas.

This was the strongest earthquake in the area in more than 100 years and was a bit of a wake up call to some that these are possible on the east coast.

In a report from CBS and Yahoo News, it was noted that the aftershocks can extend out as far as as week after the initial earthquake. Although small, it is something that scientists and government officials are going to be watching for.

The eclipse was also a major part of the SNL broadcast this past weekend.
