Hundreds report feeling 2.7-magnitude quake near N.H.-Mass. border
Hundreds of people reported feeling a 2.7-magnitude earthquake that shook towns near the New Hampshire-Massachusetts border on Thursday morning, according to the US Geological Survey.
The USGS said the quake started at 9:28 a.m. with its epicenter in East Kingston, New Hampshire, just over the Massachusetts border.
By about an hour later, the USGS had received more than 800 reports from people who said they felt it. East Kingston is near Exeter, New Hampshire, and across the border from Amesbury, Massachusetts.
The Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency said in a statement Thursday morning that they had not received any reports of significant damage and did not expect structural damage to occur at that magnitude.
An earthquake with a magnitude of 1.0 also occurred in Sandwich, New Hampshire, just after 10 p.m. Wednesday. No one had reported feeling the earthquake as of 10:30 a.m. Thursday.
