A 3.8-magnitude earthquake was felt in parts of southern Vermont on Monday morning.
The earthquake originated off the coast of York, Maine, at 10:22 a.m, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
Residents of Springfield and Brattleboro shared in community social media groups that they felt shaking for about 10-15 seconds. A magnitude of 3.8 is relatively mild, and there were no reported harms from Monday’s weak seismic activity, according to New Hampshire’s emergency management division.
While earthquakes are uncommon in the state, the Department of Environmental Conservation notes that between 2016 and 2020, there were 15 mild earthquakes with epicenters in Vermont — though residents reported feeling the effects of those in other states and Canada.
