A light but rare 3.8 magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of southern Maine on Monday morning, according to the U.S. Geological Survey, sending trembles across New England. The earthquake’s epicenter was about 10 miles east of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, the survey said. There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage.

People across the region felt a 3.8 magnitude earthquake that was centered off the coast of Maine in York Harbor. So how rare is such an occurrence in New England?

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.
