Default Earthquake in southern Maine?

Strange but it happened. 4.0 magnitude felt in 5 states.

I felt it in Weymouth, Mass., about 12 miles south of Boston. The building swayed for about 5 to 10 seconds.

We felt it over in Albany, NY, but it was more like a big truck just idling outside the house . . . a bit of rumbling but no swaying or shaking.

Is that normal for the east coast? I don't think so, but I don't know either, reminds me of that movie The Day After Tomorrow.

Hope everyone is ok that it affected.

I think I watched some East Coast Earthquake doomsday special on Discovery or something like that. Apparently, there are some rather large, but not very active fault zones in the northeast.

Run for the hills.

My kids live in Maine near the epicenter and were at the movies last night when it happened. They thought it was some new motion feature in the movie theater.

My wife felt it in Tyngsboro, MA but I was on the road so I didn't feel a thing. Read that a guy near the epicenter of the quake ran outside calling 911 reporting a semi tuck accident, when he got out he slowed down and then reported that there was nothing there!!!!
I've felt them in the past, doesn't happen often but your right we are on a fairly large fault line that isn't very active.

There is a major fault line going through NYC. And no one has prepared for an earth quake. Maybe this little one will be a wake up call

The earthquake map of America: A seismic map shows that living far from the West Coast is no guarantee of safety from earthquakes. The colour-coordinated map shows a high probability of earthquakes along the West Coast - but it also shows an alarming patch of red at the 'New Madrid fault line straddling Tennessee, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois and Kentucky, in a dangerous patch that spreads outwards all the way to the South Carolina coast.

The above is from this Daily Mail (UK) online article
