No damage has been reported as a result of Wednesday's earthquake.

The USGS forecast shows an 8% chance of at least one aftershock at Magnitude 3 (and less than 1% for Magnitude 4-plus) within a week from Monday’s "mainshock." Aftershock rates typically decrease over time.

Monday's earthquake was much larger and was felt across New England, from Connecticut all the way to northern New Hampshire.

People in Boston and across New England felt the rare earthquake that struck just off the coast of Maine and New Hampshire Monday morning, which a local scientist described as a once-every-five-year event.  To one local, it sounded like a jumbo jet flying under the ground — we found video of a bartender feel the shaking as he poured a glass of Guinness.
