Communities from Maine to Massachusetts felt a 3.8 magnitude earthquake rattle across the ground Monday morning.

The quake originated 10 km southeast of York Harbor, Maine, at 10:22 a.m., the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) reported Monday.

“It was offshore of York Harbor, which is down near the border with Connecticut, slightly offshore,” said Susan Hough, a seismologist with the USGS based in Pasadena. “It was widely felt. It’s been widely reported through the Did You Feel It? system. We’ve got 32,000 people, because that’s a populated corridor.”

The USGS does not “expect damage given the magnitude and the location,” Hough said. The strongest reported shaking as of noon is “probably not strong enough to knock things off of shelves, let alone to do actual damage,” she added.

“MEMA has received reports of shaking felt in MA, but no reports of damage at this time,” MEMA posted on X, formerly Twitter, at 10:50 a.m. “Remember, during an earthquake: drop, cover and hold on for safety.”

The NWS National Tsunami Warning Center stated there was “NO tsunami danger from this earthquake” in an alert at 10:26 a.m.

Across Massachusetts, people reported computers wobbling, coffee sloshing and floorboards rattling.
