YORK, Maine (WGME) -- Another small earthquake was reported off the coast of Maine on Wednesday morning. The United States Geologic Survey (USGS) reported a 2.0 magnitude earthquake occurred about 6 miles southeast of York Harbor. This was the same area where a 3.8 magnitude earthquake shook parts of Maine on Monday.
YORK HARBOR, Maine - Another earthquake has been recorded off the coast of Maine, two days after a larger quake shook Boston, New Hampshire and Rhode Island.
The US Geological Survey said this quake, whose epicenter was about 7 miles from southern Maine’s coastal town of York, was the strongest earthquake to strike the Northeast since last April’s 4.8 shaker in northern New Jersey, which was also felt across must of Southern New England, including Boston.
A 3.8-magnitude earthquake centered near the Maine coast rattled houses in northern New England on Monday and was felt by surprised residents of states hundreds of miles away.
The 3.8-magnitude earthquake was centered about 10 kilometers southeast of York Harbor in Maine, officials said.
A 3.8 magnitude earthquake shook parts of New England on Monday morning, according to the United States Geological Survey. The earthquake occurred around 10:30 a.m. about 8 miles of the coast of York Harbor in Southern Maine, USGS reported.
Experts from UNH explain how rare the 3.8 magnitude earthquake was and the likelihood of significant aftershocks.
It felt as if the furnace was blowing up, a truck was hitting our building and our solar panels were falling off – all at the same time,” said a resident less than 10 miles from the quake’s epicenter.
Parts of New England were jolted by a small earthquake Monday that was centered in Maine and felt as far away as Boston, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
The earthquake struck off the coast of Maine on Monday around 10:22 a.m. Thousands of people reported that they felt the ground shaking.
An earthquake​ just off Maine today was felt in Boston and into Connecticut, Vermont and New Hampshire, according to a "shake map."
