New England Earthquake: 3.8 Magnitude Tremor Shakes Region
A 3.8 magnitude earthquake struck underwater near York Harbor, Maine, causing shaking felt across New England, including Boston. Reports of vibration and shaking came from as far north as Augusta, Maine, and as far south as Providence, Rhode Island, though no immediate damage was reported. The USGS noted that while unusual, such earthquakes are not unprecedented along the Atlantic seaboard and rarely cause significant damage due to their location. This event follows recent seismic activity in New Jersey and New York.
