    Early this morning, residents in Boston were shaken awake by a 4.0 magnitude earthquake that was centered in Maine. The quake, which occurred around 2:00 am, was felt throughout the city and surrounding areas.

    While earthquakes are not common in this region, experts say that the East Coast is not immune to seismic activity. The epicenter of this earthquake was located near the town of Rumford, Maine, about 150 miles north of Boston.

    Thankfully, there have been no reports of any injuries or significant damage as a result of the quake. However, it serves as a reminder that we should always be prepared for unexpected natural disasters.
