A small quake rocked parts of Somerset County early Friday morning.

The Morris County Office of Emergency Management received several calls from residents following a 2.7-magnitude natural disaster that occurred about 3:41 a.m. Friday. The 2.5 magnitude quake could be felt in four neighboring counties and has been confirmed by the USGS.

The Pennsylvania SPCA rescued 122 cats and kittens from an eastern Pennsylvania home and transported them to its North Philadelphia facility for medical evaluations.

The last quake reported in New Jersey had a magnitude of 1.9 and happened about 17 miles east-southeast of Trenton on December. 13, 2014.

Seventy-eight people initially reported feeling it, USGS geophysicist Zachery Reeves said.

There was no damage to any property or any injuries reported. Moderately damaging earthquakes strike somewhere in the urban corridor roughly twice a century, and smaller earthquakes are felt roughly every 2-3 years.
