A small earthquake struck southern New Hampshire on Tuesday morning, according to the United States Geological Survey.
According to the USGS, the magnitude 1.8 earthquake was recorded at 10:13 a.m. and was centered southwest of Kingston. Kingston is a little less than 50 miles north of Boston.
No injuries or damage were reported.
According to the USGS, people usually report feeling an earthquake when its magnitude is greater than 3.0.
In January, a rare magnitude 3.8 earthquake off the coast of Maine shook much of the region from coastal Rhode Island to Albany, NY, and from New Hampshire to southern Maine. That earthquake was followed by two earthquakes of 2.0 magnitude in the same week.
The January earthquake was the most powerful to hit New England since April 2024, when a magnitude 4.8 quake centered in New Jersey shook much of the Northeast.
Strong earthquakes have been felt in New Hampshire before. In 1982, a magnitude 4.5 earthquake struck near Sanbornton in the central part of the state. According to USGS data, two earthquakes of magnitude 5.3 and 5.6 occurred four days apart near Tamworth in December 1940.
