Earthquake near Maine coast shakes New England


An earthquake with a magnitude of 3.8 struck off the coast of Maine on Monday morning, causing light to moderate shaking in several states including Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire. The epicenter was located near York Harbor, Maine, about 45 miles southwest of Portland. The National Weather Service did not issue any tsunami warnings and there have been no reports of fatalities or significant damage so far.

This earthquake was the strongest to hit the northeastern United States since April, when a 4.8-magnitude earthquake occurred near Lebanon, New Jersey. Earthquakes in this region are rare, which means even minor shaking can cause damage due to lack of preparedness for seismic activity. The USGS records show that the earthquake in New Jersey was the most intense in the Northeast in over a decade.

The situation is still developing, and updates will be provided as more information becomes available. It is important to stay informed and prepared for any future seismic events in the region.
