Hubby and I were sitting in the livingroom last night, watching tv and our house started shaking, pics rattling on walls. Heard a low, loud rumble like thunder during the shaking, which lasted several seconds.

Apparently, the epicenter was between Bar Harbor and Egg Rock Island. (This is what some are saying the 3rd quake we've had here in two weeks, but I didn't feel the first two.)

that one is the same, it must of been upgraded after more measurements were reviewed.

I think there was another of similar size, and a small one, to make 3.

Are small earthquakes common in Maine?

I don't usually here anything about the East.
