Maine Earthquake Felt in VT, Cavendish
A magnitude 4.0 earthquake centered in
southern Maine rattled Vermont and much of the rest of New England on Tuesday
evening, the second minor temblor to affect the region in a week. The quake hit
at 7:12 p.m. with an epicenter about four miles west of Hollis Center, Maine,
according to the U.S. Geological Survey in Golden, Colo., which monitors and
reports on earthquakes worldwide. There were no immediate reports of damage or
injuries from the fairly minor tremor, which was slightly stronger than the
quake that shook the area last week. Burlington Free Press
