Thanks for the info

Local news reporting it now.

We don't get many quakes at all up here on the coast of Maine.  But for the past month we've had a quake, tons of aftershocks now this new one.  

According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the quake with a preliminary magnitude of 3.4 was centered 4 miles south southeast of Bar Harbor. The U.S.G.S. classifies a 3.4 as a "minor" quake.
 
The quake was first reported at 8:07pm. People from as far away as Oxford have called NEWS CENTER to report the temblor.

Aftershocks from an earlier quake have been happening for about a week. One witness reports that Monday night's quake was stronger than any of the previous ones.


Kinda new to us...
