Earthquake recorded in Maine
[Update 8:55 p.m. ET] The U.S. Geological Survey revised its report of Tuesday's earthquake to magnitude 4.0, down from a preliminary magnitude of 4.6. The epicenter was pinpointed 4 miles west-southwest of Hollis Center, Maine, at a shallow depth of 4.2 miles.
Despite the downgrade, the quake was felt as far away as Boston, Massachusetts; Albany, New York, and even Waterbury, Connecticut, according to the USGS.

"My entire house shook for 3 to 4 seconds. It felt like it was about to collapse," a viewer from Everett, Massachusetts, wrote to CNN affiliate WCVB in Boston.

your reallly a different breed of idiot huh?? earthquakes can happen anywhere at anytime we're not exempt from anything!
Felt it in Westchester County, NY (40 mi. North of NYC)
Thought i was crazy sitting in hotel in BOS but guess not.
realy shook us in Greenfield, MA
i could feel it very clearly, enough a few things fell off shelves here in falmoth maine
I wonder if this has anything to do with that town wanting to release those names? God is warning them to let the issue go. Do not release the names and move on.
This is Jesus punishing them for their Zumba whoring.
LOL that made me bellow
About two miles from our house in North Waterboro Maine. Only lasted about four seconds. Everthin shook. It terrified my three year old. 37 years in New England andI have never fely anything like that!!!
I don't mean to sound like a newbie but is it normal for an earthquake of 4.6 to happen in Maine?
No... we never get them
Yeah, agreeing with caroline here. not even once a decade but, this is the second one. there was a 2.0 during the summer 2 years ago.
NO...Didn't know that they felt like explosions either.
I can honestly say I felt nothing down here in Florida...
Jonathan Prete – those of us still living in Maine are damn glad you moved back to NJ. We didn't like you very much.
See what happens when Romney starts lying.the whole East coast shakes.
Around 7:12, Myself and a few others rushed outta Zumba. What happend?
The Earth moved. And then the Earth moved.
Do you think the names on the "list" felt the earth move twice? LOL Zumba Zumba
Everybody feels Zumba. It's not a class, It's a lifestyle. ZUMBAAA
We are 16 miles from Hollis Center. Felt it strong, freaked us out. I'm okay with never experiencing one again, cause I know everyone in CA is saying "that was nothing"
Having lived in CA for 25 years...let me tell you, this WAS something! Guess it must all depend on the geology, etc.
Hey, I'm in CA and it freaks me out that you had an earthquake that big in Maine! I hope all are okay.
I lived in CA, not matter if you get it alot, it still freaks you out...aftershocks as well.
4.6? That was nothing! lol 😉
I live in western mass. and didn't feel a thing while me and the kids were watching the Friday the 13th marathon.
