Boston, MA shakes from earthquake from NH, Maine Monday – NBC Boston

The Boston area shook from a rare but smaller earthquake on Monday morning.

The US Geological Survey assessed the shaking as a size 3.8downgraded from the original size of 4.1. It was centered on the coast of New Hampshire and Maine in York Harbor, about 12 miles underground.

While not destructive and rather common in areas with more seismic activity such as California, it is relatively large for the area.

Shaking was felt throughout the region – as far away as New Haven, Connecticut and Albany, New York, according to Replies sent to the US geological study.

Preliminary report is 4.1 mag. Located by York Harbor, Me. Wow that was crazy.

I was outside with the dog and the trees shake. Long, stable rumbling as it sprang nearby. Went on for several seconds. No obvious harm.
