A 3.8-magnitude earthquake rocked the Northeast early Monday — shaking buildings and homes along the Atlantic coast, the United States Geological Survey said.


The quake, which struck at 10:22 a.m., was centered near Maine’s idyllic York Harbor but could be felt as far away as Portland (45 miles north) and Boston (67 miles south).

“Today’s M3.8 near Bar [York] Harbor, Maine, reminds us that earthquakes are unusual but not unheard of along the Atlantic Seaboard,” the USGS said in a post on X.
