Ilya Kovalchuk. Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 A magnitude 4.5 earthquake struck southern Maine shortly after 7 p.m. ET and was felt in Boston: 7:31PM EDT October 16. 2012 - A magnitude 4.5 earthquake struck southern Maine shortly after 7 p.m. ET and was felt in Boston. The U.S. Geological Survey says the quake, about 17 miles deep, was centered near Lake Arrowhead. No reports so far of any damage. The USGS says the New England region has "felt small earthquakes and suffered damage from infrequent larger ones since colonial times. Moderately damaging earthquakes strike somewhere in the region every few decades, and smaller earthquakes are felt roughly twice a year." http://www.usatoday....41/?sf6651777=1 There's 100s of earthquakes a day, you don't have to report them all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmen81 Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 My brother lives back in New Hampshire and they definitely felt it. He said his boys were really scared, they tried to tell them that it was just an airplane flying over, but they wouldn't buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Vintage Canuck- Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 There's 100s of earthquakes a day, you don't have to report them all Well if it's like in Montreal, Boston, California (Major cities) or near by Vancouver then I just post 'em. If it's outside of North America then no, unless it's over 7.0 magnitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denguin Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Damn. I hope everyone there is okay... Thankfully it's in a less populated area... but they suffered a direct hit, it seems. It'll be tough to get any rescue out there if it's needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Long Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I felt it in Prince George. Pretty intense too. Seems like a long way from the epicenter to feel something that strong. Hope everyone is alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cpt.Clutch Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I swear I HEARD the earthquake in Langley. I heard something that sounded like cracking while my light over my head shook. Never felt anything and figured a heavier than normal train went by on the local tracks. Found out an hour later from my wife that there actually was an earthquake.
