Mainers Feel Fifth Earthquake in a Week

Again, Mainers felt a small earthquake.  It is the fifth time in a week.

Still no damage and no injuries.  New England quakes are generally mild.

The Associated Press reports the U.S. Geological Survey confirms a magnitude 2.3 earthquake struck around 2 a.m. Wednesday near Harrison.

Another minor earthquake was recorded in Dresden on Jan. 17. The agency says the 2.6 magnitude quake struck before 7 p.m., and it was followed by two other minor quakes.

Fairfield was shaken by an earthquake two days after that, a magnitude 1.7.

A 4.0 magnitude quake in 2012 near Hollis, Maine, was felt as far away as Connecticut, and a 4.2 magnitude quake in 2006 struck Maine's Mount Desert Island, causing boulders to tumble.
