The Boston area shook from a rare, but minor, earthquake Monday morning.
The U.S. Geological Survey rated the shaking as a magnitude 3.8, downgraded from the initial magnitude of 4.1. It was centered off the coast of New Hampshire and Maine in York Harbor, about 12 miles underground.
While not destructive, and fairly common in areas with more seismic activity like California, that’s relatively large for the area.
Shaking was felt across the region — as far away as New Haven, Connecticut, and Albany, New York, according to responses sent to U.S. Geological Survey.
Preliminary report is 4.1 mag. positioned off York Harbor, ME. WOW that was wild.

I was outside with the dog, and the trees were shuddering. Long, steady rumbling like there was blasting nearby. Went on for several seconds. No apparent damage.
