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.

Born in and lived in CA for over quarter century...I used to think like you, but now in Maine, I DON'T...thank goodness, and it's different when there are no earthquake retrofits here, no need for condescension, please.
You seem to insult people from California a lot and yes I know you lived there, who cares! Stop being such a bigot!

Was very noticeable here on Martha's Vineyard.
Tripped during football practice, stood up and I couldn't figure out why I couldn't get my balance back... Took me and the other coaches a second to realize the ground was actually moving, I guess it's time to lose some weight.
Hays. I know what you mean. I thought that my upstairs neighbors were probably moving their couch at one point.
Felt it here in Dutchess County New York for about 10 seconds

Meant to say that "here" is 22 miles south of Boston, MA
I agree with "well, duh "

Our chairs felt as if they were being bounced up and down. We each looked at the other in disbelief and concern. Our home is in Conway, Massachusetts.
