A sizable earthquake rocked some of the East Coast on Monday morning. The United States has been hit by several earthquakes in recent weeks and months. There was a 7.0 magnitude earthquake in Northern California last December.

A 3.8 magnitude earthquake shook parts of New England on Monday morning, according to the United States Geological Survey. The earthquake occurred around 10:30 a.m. about 8 miles of the coast of York Harbor in Southern Maine, USGS reported.

The 3.8-magnitude earthquake was centered about 10 kilometers southeast of York Harbor in Maine, officials said.

People across the region felt a 3.8 magnitude earthquake that was centered off the coast of Maine in York Harbor. So how rare is such an occurrence in New England?

A magnitude 3.8 earthquake off the coast of Maine shook parts of the Northeast on Monday morning, with residents as far away as Boston feeling the rumble, officials said.
