Earthquake with 3.8 magnitude rattles Maine, Boston on Atlantic coast

A 3.8-magnitude earthquake rocked the northeast early Monday — shaking buildings and homes along the Atlantic Coast, the United States Geological Survey said.

The quake, which struck at 10:22 a.m., was centered near Maine’s idyllic York Harbor but could be felt as far as Portland and Boston.

“Today’s M3.8 near Bar [York] Harbor, Maine, reminds us that earthquakes are unusual but not unheard of along the Atlantic Seaboard,” the USGS said in a post on X.
