The US Geological Survey said this quake, whose epicenter was about 7 miles from southern Maine’s coastal town of York, was the strongest earthquake to strike the Northeast since last April’s 4.8 shaker in northern New Jersey, which was also felt across must of Southern New England, including Boston.

The earthquake took place at about 10:22 a.m. on Monday and was centered about six miles (10 kilometers) southeast of York Harbor in southern Maine, the United States Geological Survey reported. It was reported at a depth of about eight miles (13 kilometers) the survey said.

Communities from Maine to Massachusetts felt a 3.8 magnitude earthquake rattle across the ground Monday morning.
