A RARE earthquake has rocked parts of the northeast on Monday morning.

The powerful 3.8 quake shook homes and buildings across Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine, at around 10:22 am.

The tremor’s center was off the coast of New Hampshire and Maine, according to the US Geological Survey.

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

The USGS initially recorded the earthquake as a 4.1 before downgrading it to a 3.9 and ultimately a 3.8.

John Ebel, a senior scientist with the Weston Observation at Boston College, said the event was a “once-in-every-five-years type of earthquake.”

“We don’t sit on any active fault lines, but again for our area [it] is really significant,” Ebel told CBS affiliate WBZ-TV.

Parts in Connecticut and New York, including New Haven and Albany, felt the tremor, according to the USGS.

It’s unclear if any structures were damaged because of the quake.

The tremble left several residents in the region on edge after reporting that their homes shook.

“Thought my trailer was collapsing for a sec,” one person wrote on X immediately after the earthquake struck the area.

A Boston resident said, “So wild! Our building was shaking!”

WBZ-TV anchor David Wade told the outlet he felt his house shake “pretty good.”

“My house shook pretty good. It went on for what felt like a good 5 or 10 second,” Wade added.

“That was sort of terrifying. Big deep rumble and whole house shook. Thought the furnace was blowing up,” a resident in Haverhill, Massachusetts, shared.

The Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency confirmed the state was investigating reports of an earthquake in the region.

However, the agency said there have been no reports of damage at the time.

“Remember, during an earthquake: drop, cover and hold on for safety,” the MEMA reminded residents.

Ebel, the Boston College senior scientist, advised residents in the area to prepare for aftershocks.

“There certainly will be aftershocks that will be recorded seismically,” Ebel told WBZ-TV.

“If the aftershocks get to be, you know, magnitude 2.8, 3.0, or 3.1, let’s say those will be felt probably by the people in the North Shore area of Massachusetts as well as coastal New Hampshire and south coastal Maine.”

BIG APPLE QUAKE

Last April, a 4.8 earthquake centered in New Jersey rocked parts of the northeast and was felt across six states, including Massachusetts.

The epicenter was reported in Whitehouse Station, New Jersey, about an hour west of New York City.

The tremor was the strongest earthquake to originate from New Jersey in nearly 250 years, according to the state’s history.

It was also the strongest quake to strike New York in over 130 years.
