New England Earthquake Biggest in 30 Years
As we have mentioned numerous times, we hope you all are watching for earthquakes on your own because we seldom post about them much anymore. If we tried to keep up on all the quakes, we would be writing about them almost every day.
However, the massive quakes and the rare quakes will continue to catch our attention.
Today we have news of a 'rare' quake.
Tuesday's Earthquake Equals Biggest in New England in 30 Years
The 4.0 magnitude earthquake centered in Lake Arrowhead, Maine early Tuesday night was felt all over New England, from Maine to Connecticut, including right here in Durham and Middlefield.
It was the largest earthquake in New England since 1982 when a 4.7 quake centered in Laconia, New Hampshire shook homes and rattled shelves.
Dr. John Ebel, a geophysics professor at Boston College and director of the Weston Observatory Boston College, said earthquakes start to cause damage when they reach a 5.0 magnitude.
As far Tuesday’s quake goes, he suspects that homes near the epicenter may have had some dishes rattle and cracking in old plaster walls.
New England is no stranger to earthquake activity.
The last earthquake to reach the 4.0 threshold was in 2006, a 4.0 quake in Bar Harbor, Maine. And a grand-daddy of New England quakes dates to 1755.
That quake is estimated to have been a 6.25 shaker and was felt throughout New England. In 1925, a 6.2 quake struck in Canada and was felt in New England, as well.
So, what is the potential for a big one, a California-esque quake in staid New England?
Dr. Ebel said such a quake could happen here.

Yes, Dr. Ebel...a massive earthquake WILL happen there. It will be an earthquake of such force that the world has NEVER experienced one like it.
All of these shaking's are simply foreshadowing of that massive quake that will happen at the end of the Tribulation, and warning signs that are meant to wake people up. The earth IS groaning.
"There will be earthquakes in various places...."
