Maine – A magnitude 3.9 earthquake struck off the coast of Maine on Monday morning, sending tremors that were felt across at least nine states, according to the United States Geological Survey (USGS). The earthquake occurred approximately 11 kilometers southeast of York Harbor, Maine, just before 10:30 a.m. ET.
Reports of the earthquake’s effects poured into the USGS, with over 23,000 people reporting feeling the tremors as of 11 a.m. The majority of reports came from southern Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Island, Connecticut, and Massachusetts. Sporadic reports were also noted from New York, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey.
Social media users from affected states also shared their experiences, with many describing the shaking as brief but noticeable. The earthquake, which the USGS described as “notable,” caused no reported injuries or significant damage but left residents across the region startled.
The National Weather Service (NWS) office in Caribou, Maine, confirmed the earthquake and reassured the public that there was no tsunami threat.
While earthquakes of this magnitude are relatively rare in the region, they are not unprecedented. The USGS continues to monitor seismic activity in the area and encourages residents to report any additional effects on their online platform.
For now, residents across the affected states can breathe a sigh of relief as the earthquake appears to have caused minimal disruption despite its widespread reach.
