YORK HARBOR, Maine — A third earthquake in a week was detected off the coast of New England Sunday morning. The United States Geological Survey confirmed a 2.0-magnitude earthquake centered southeast of York Harbor, Maine, just north of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, around 7:57 a.m.

A 2.0 magnitude earthquake occurred at 7:57 a.m. on Sunday off the coast of Maine, the third earthquake in the same area in the past week.

People across the region felt a 3.8 magnitude earthquake that was centered off the coast of Maine in York Harbor. So how rare is such an occurrence in New England?

It felt as if the furnace was blowing up, a truck was hitting our building and our solar panels were falling off – all at the same time,” said a resident less than 10 miles from the quake’s epicenter.

The 3.8-magnitude earthquake was centered about 10 kilometers southeast of York Harbor in Maine, officials said.

Yet another earthquake off the coast of Maine shook New England Sunday morning — the third in the span of a week.
