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.

We live in Montpelier, Vermont and we felt it in our 2nd floor apartment. I am blotting about it if anyone wants to join me.
We live in Salem, NH, and the couch and TV shook pretty well for about 10 seconds.
Hey Ari Fleisher, the earthquake you said will strike Boston if Romney wins, well its close and getting closer. Obama will loose again tonight and on November 6th.

Hi, we felt it in Wilder Vermont–we are on the state line with NH, separated by the Conn. River–no tsunami warnings so far!
mid to southern california is sandy . . . maine is rocky. There's big difference.
Huh? Have you ever been to Southern to Mid California?
wow all my glasses and mirrors on my walls were shaking and vibrating.we dont get them that often at all.everyone new what it was right off.we deff felt it in claermont NH.Hope no one was hurt.
Please! Just because you live in California doesn't mean that an earthquake on the east coast doesn't matter. Get over yourself!
I felt it in Hartford, CT. My floor was shaking and my glass rattled so hard on the table that some of the juice splashed out.
10 miles west of Springfield MA, we felt it and it rattled cabinets and doors.
Thought I felt it in Virginia
Felt it here in Danbury, CT.
You knoiw what we call a 4.6 earthquake in California?
Nothing... Because nobody even bothers mentioning a 4.6 quake.....
Vermont is not really supposed to have Earthquakes. Also do you guys usually hear a noise with yours in CA? We did.
I used to live in San Francisco so when I felt a minor quake here in Maine I was excited! It was a rather pathetic quake, but a quake non the less 🙂
We live in Freeport, ME and to us it was like a train going by. Not much shaking. The House is on ledge, so that may be why it wasn't so strong for us. But friends in neighboring towns had stuff shake pretty good.

The Bob Francoeur?? I slept through it in my recliner. My wife and daughters here in Hudson, NH felt it strongly.
