Another earthquake of a relatively minor 2.0 magnitud e was recorded overnight in approximately the same spot as Monday’s 3.8-magnitude quake off the coast of Maine, according to the United State Geological Survey.

People across the region felt a 3.8 magnitude earthquake that was centered off the coast of Maine in York Harbor. So how rare is such an occurrence in New England?

A 2.0 magnitude earthquake was recorded off York Harbor, Maine, early Wednesday by the U.S. Geological Survey, an aftershock to Monday’s earthquake.

An earthquake​ just off Maine today was felt in Boston and into Connecticut, Vermont and New Hampshire, according to a "shake map."

Maine is not typically associated with significant seismic activity, making Monday's earthquake all the more unusual. Most earthquakes in the state are too small to feel, and large, damaging quakes are incredibly rare.

The ground violently shook in a video taken outside the iconic Nubble Lighthouse in York, Maine, amid a magnitude 3.8 earthquake that struck off the coast Monday morning and could be felt across New England.

Light shaking from the earthquake was felt as far south as Rhode Island, according to the USGS. Monday's earthquake, which originated in Maine but was felt in Rhode Island, is being measured at 3.8 on the magnitude scale, according to the USGS.

A light but rare 3.8-magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of southern Maine on Monday morning, according to the United States Geological Survey, sending trembles across New England. The earthquake’s epicenter was about 10 miles east of Portsmouth, N.H., the survey said. There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage.

An earthquake off the coast of Maine rattled parts of Massachusetts around 10:22 a.m. Monday morning. According to data from the United States Geological Survey, the earthquake originated about 11 kilometers, or roughly seven miles, southeast of Maine's York Harbor. It is currently being measured at a 3.8 on the earthquake magnitude scale.

A 3.8-magnitude earthquake struck near York Harbor, Maine, early Monday, sending tremors as far south as Boston and as far west as Albany, New York. The quake, detected approximately 12 miles underground, caused no reported injuries or damage, but its occurrence has renewed attention on New England's seismic history​​.
