As more ice melts in northern Canada the quakes will increase until balance is achieved. [/quote] Not quite sure on that one, the locations of the recent quakes in Maine are near the coast. Look at a glacial rebound map of North America, Maine is only low risk at the northern most border to Canada. [/quote] Actually I live in Lake Arrowhead where the last quake and the 4.0 in Oct was located, and I am no where near the coast. I'm about 30 miles inland, in a lakes region. In my area alone there are 4-5 lakes, Arrowhead, Little Ossipee, Sherbourne, and I'm not sure of the other names. These quakes make me wonder if there is something going on beneath the lakes? Maybe it was all one large lake before? [/quote]

NEAR WATERBORO, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- Tuesday morning got off to a shaky start in York County.
An earthquake with a magnitude of 2.3 was detected by the U.S. Geological Survey at 6:11 a.m.
It was centered about 6 kilometers south of Lake Arrowhead near the town of Waterboro at a depth of nearly 5 kilometers below the surface.
Soon after it hit, email and social media messages began pouring into NEWS CENTER from people who felt the earthquake.
Nearly two month earlier, another earthquake measuring 4.0 hit in almost the same area.
