New Jersey earthquake: 2.6 magnitude aftershock rumbles parts of northern New Jersey

GLADSTONE, N.J. - A minor aftershock rumbled parts of northern New Jersey nearly a week after a rare 4.8 magnitude quake was felt across the Garden State and nearby areas.

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) says Wednesday's 2.6 magnitude aftershock happened near the Somerset County town of Gladstone.

It's the 50th reported aftershock associated with last week's earthquake, according to researchers.

Figures indicated that more than 42 million people might have felt Friday's quake.
