An earthquake struck Westchester County, roughly 25 miles from New York City, on Tuesday.

The 2.3-magnitude quake rattled Sleepy Hollow, the setting of Tim Burton’s 1999 Gothic horror film by the same name, at around 10:15 a.m. and nearly 900 people reported feeling it.

“Earthquakes of this size are typically minor and rarely cause damage, but some people in nearby areas like the Bronx may have felt brief shaking,” NYC Emergency Management wrote.

“I heard the rumble up here in Westchester,” one local wrote on social media after the quake. “I'm in Katonah and it felt like the house sank. Crazy,” another person added.

No damage was reported.
