EARTHQUAKE STRIKES US NORTHEAST

A moderate earthquake struck the northeastern U.S. state of Maine overnight, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

First reported as a 4.5 magnitude quake centered near Lake Arrowhead, the USGS revised the quake's magnitude to 4.6 and finally down to 4.0.

It shifted the epicenter to close to Hollis Center, southeast of the original location, and revised the quake's depth from a deep 17 miles (27 km) to a relatively shallow 3 miles (4.8 km).

Hollis Center is about 20 miles (32 km) west of Portland, Maine's most populous city, and about 100 miles (160 km) north of Boston.

Eyewitnesses across the Boston area reported feeling the quake for up to 20 to 30 seconds.
