Up-to-date Maine Earthquake Information
(Caution: Different sources may give slightly different reports immediately
after an earthquake. Preliminary information is subject to revision.)
U.S. National Earthquake Information Center
- Current Seismicity. A list of earthquakes around the world in the past seven days. Quakes are posted as soon as reliable information becomes available. Small quakes (< Magnitude 2.5) may not be listed.
- Recent Earthquake Activity. Earthquakes that are too old for the "Current" list, but which occurred within the past 8 to 30 days. Worldwide coverage.
New England Seismic Network
- List of Recent New England Earthquakes. Information on New England earthquakes as determined by Weston Observatory from their local seismic network. Felt earthquakes are generally listed on this site within a few hours of their occurrence.
Earthquakes Canada
- Recent Earthquakes in Eastern Canada. Includes Maine. Earthquakes in the past 30 days, on map and list. Some small Maine earthquakes not listed by the U.S. National Network may appear.
- Seismogram Viewer. Real-time plots from the seismic stations in eastern Canada, automatically updated to within the past few minutes. (Reload page to see latest information.) Since Maine is half surrounded by Canada, most Maine earthquakes are recorded in these plots, especially from the Charlevoix Network, near northern Maine, and the New Brunswick Area Network near eastern Maine. Archived hourly seismogram plots can be searched by year, day, and hour for signals from older events.
