Light shaking from the earthquake was felt as far south as Rhode Island, according to the USGS. Monday's earthquake, which originated in Maine but was felt in Rhode Island, is being measured at 3.8 on the magnitude scale, according to the USGS.

A Ware, Massachusetts, resident said she was home and her whole house was shaking for about 10 seconds from what she at first believed was an 18-wheeler coming down Route 9.

Monday’s incident marked the strongest earthquake in the northeast U.S. since last year when a 4.8-magnitude earthquake hit New Jersey in April — the strongest to hit the region in more than a decade, according to NBC News. There is currently no tsunami threat in New England, according to the U.S. Tsunami Warning Center.
