BOSTON – An earthquake felt in Boston, Massachusetts Monday morning was centered in York Harbor, Maine according to the United States Geological Survey. It was also felt in New Hampshire and Rhode Island, according to a USGS map.
The earthquake with a magnitude of 3.8 happened at 10:22 a.m. It was initially reported as a magnitude of 4.1 and then 3.9.
The depth of the earthquake was more than 8 miles underground, according to the USGS.
“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.”
Shaking could be felt for a few seconds in the area, as well as in the WBZ-TV newsroom in Boston.
“My house shook pretty good,” said WBZ-TV anchor David Wade, who lives just west of Boston.
Last year, a 4.8 earthquake centered in New Jersey was felt in parts of Massachusetts.
