3.8-magnitude earthquake rattles Maine, felt by people across New England
A magnitude 3.8 earthquake was detected off the coast of New Hampshire and Maine on Jan. 27. Was it connected to other recent quakes?
A 3.8-magnitude earthquake was reported about seven miles off the coast of York Harbor, Maine Monday morning, the United States Geological Survey said.
The quake, which struck at 10:22 a.m. ET, happened at a depth of more than 8 miles underground, according to the USGS. People felt shaking from Maine to Concord and Boston, Massachusetts as well as Cranston, Rhode Island, according to the Boston Globe.
York Harbor is 66.5 miles northeast of Boston. Shaking could be felt for a few seconds in the WBZ-TV newsroom in Boston.
"We don't sit on any active fault lines," WBZ-TV executive weather producer Terry Eliasen said. "But again for our area [it] is really significant."
There are no initial reports of injuries or damage.
