A small earthquake was detected in southern New Hampshire on Tuesday morning, according to the United States Geological Survey.
The 1.8-magnitude earthquake was recorded at 10:13 a.m. and centered southwest of Kingston, according to the USGS. Kingston is a little less than 50 miles north of Boston.
No injuries or damage was reported.
People typically report feeling an earthquake when it is stronger than about magnitude 3.0, according to the USGS.
In January, a rare 3.8-magnitude earthquake off the coast of Maine shook most of the region, from coastal Rhode Island to Albany, N.Y., and up the coast through New Hampshire into southern Maine. That earthquake was followed by a pair of 2.0-magnitude quakes in the same week.
The January earthquake was the strongest to hit New England since April 2024, when a 4.8-magnitude earthquake centered in New Jersey shook most of the Northeast.
New Hampshire has felt strong quakes in the past. In 1982, a 4.5-magnitude earthquake was reported near Sanbornton, in the central part of the state. In December 1940, two earthquakes at magnitudes of 5.3 and 5.6 were reported four days apart near Tamworth, according to USGS data.
