The USGS confirms a 4.1 magnitude earthquake occurred this morning at 10:22 EST just southeast of York Harbor, Maine.
A large number of self-reported shake intensity from locals in the area reported overall light to moderate shaking. Reports were received as far as Boston, however the epicenter was confirmed to be in Maine. Most reports claim shaking lasted only 5-20 seconds.
The USGS has said there are no tsunami threats associated with this earthquake. Some aftershocks may be felt by residents in the area.
Being as this is an area that does not sit on an active fault line, it is considered to be a significant geological event.
