Felt it here in Mass, epicenter near Lake Arrowhead, Maine, about 50 miles (?) from Concord, NH. Hope all members in the area are ok......
edited...it's said to be a 4.5

I felt it in mass too, it shook the house pretty good.
I looked it up on the net and it stated a magnitude of 4.6
That's awfully strong for you guys over there. I hope everyone is ok,

Just changed it from a 4.5 to 4.6. A 'shallow' quake....I guess up in NH, near Concord (where our NH place is, unfortunately, requiring a ride up for possible damage) sounded like an airliner crashing.
Heard it was a 4.6
That is strong here in the world of granite.

Sorry - couldn't resist. Hope everyones OK.

4.5 can cause chimney's to fall or brick building facia to fall.
Earthquakes have been on my mind lately.

I am not too far from MrHalfDime, and definitely felt it as well. A strong (and surprisingly loud) rumbling swept throughout the house. It felt at first like heavy equipment on the road outside.
No damage though, thankfully, so it's back to getting ready for Dallas in the morning!
<< <i>djm, if my dog wasn't going absolutely hoopy (I mean HOOPY)... I might have thought a car accident right out front, it shook so much, windows rattling, a first (hopefully last), for me. More power to you West coasters where a 4.6 is a knock on the door'. >>
A 4.6 feels like a stronger quake here on the East Coast because the granite bedrock propagates the kinetic energy more efficiently.
I remember the one last year that was felt from Virginia to Maine. I thought I was having a stroke at work when my monitor started moving.

Throw in Rainer and that map looks a whole lot scarier. From the Spokane area, so hopefully we don't have any more basalt floods.

I am in southern CT and didn't feel a thing. I remember the one mentioned above, it was midday and I was in my car, stopped at a light. I thought I'd dropped a cylinder or broken a motor mount the way the car vibrated.

<< <i>I live about 10-15 miles from the epicenter (Lake Arrowhead, Hollis, ME), and I certainly felt it. The USGS says that it measured 4.5, and that is almost unheard of here in Maine. Probably not much for our California members, but a bit scary for us New Englanders. The noise (rumble) was intense, and seemed to increase as it went on. No damage here, and certainly no injuries, but very sobering to witness the power of nature. Maybe silly, but as a kid who grew up in the 50's, during the cold war, I actually looked outside to see if the sky was lit up from an atomic blast before I realized what it was. >>

Granite/bedrock transmits energy so much better than sand I'm sure that it felt very strong. here in CA with out Sand and Clay sedimentary geology, you have to be right on top of a 4.0 to feel it. So I'm not poo pooing easterners for taking notice of a 4.0. --Jerry
LOOKS LIKE OBAMA HAS HIS PEOPLE PLAYING WITH THE FIGURES AGAIN!!
First happened to me in California the summer before the big quake in the Oakland World Series. My Grandparents lived in Antioch and I was visiting there for the first time. Small trimmer but I was around 11 or 12.
Next was in Iraq in 05. Mortars landing and roadside IEDs. I can definitely understand the analogy to the cold war.
Stay safe up there and hopefully the aftershocks are not too bad.

Havent seen the cat for hours, he's still hiding somewhere.
It was a good one especially for this area or the country.

Rainier will be a killer and could devastate much more than the NorthWest as property destruction will mount into the trillions and will impact everyone.
