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.

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.

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?

Experts from UNH explain how rare the 3.8 magnitude earthquake was and the likelihood of significant aftershocks.

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.

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​​.

Paul Earle, a seismologist with the U.S. Geological Survey, joined 12 News at 4 virtually on Tuesday to talk about the earthquake off the Maine coast that reverberated throughout New England the day before.

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.

A 3.8 magnitude earthquake shook parts of New England on Monday morning, according to the United States Geological Survey. The earthquake occurred around 10:30 a.m. about 8 miles of the coast of York Harbor in Southern Maine, USGS reported.

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.

It felt as if the furnace was blowing up, a truck was hitting our building and our solar panels were falling off – all at the same time,” said a resident less than 10 miles from the quake’s epicenter.
