Earthquake shakes Down East town again

BANGOR DAILY NEWS • August 17, 2022

For the fourth time in a week, an earthquake rumbled east of Centerville in Washington County. Wednesday morning’s quake measured a magnitude 3 at a depth of little more than 3 miles just to the southeast of the town about 6:55 a.m., according to the U.S. Geological Survey. It wasn’t immediately clear whether the quake caused any damage. Last Thursday, a magnitude 2.8 earthquake rattled the Centerville area, one of two shakers detected in that part of Washington County that day. Another earthquake, this time a weaker 1.8 magnitude, was recorded two days later near Jonesport.
