A minor earthquake that was felt as far away as Vermont rocked an area underneath the Atlantic Ocean near Long Island on Tuesday morning.
The U.S. Geological Survey said that the quake, measuring 3.9 on the Richter Scale, was detected at 10:46 a.m. The epicenter was 117 miles southeast of Bridgeport and was probably felt most strongly on the south shore of Long Island.
By noon, the USGS had already received about 65 reports of the quake on its "Did You Feel It?" website (www: earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/dyfi). The vast majority of the calls were from Long Island and coastal Connecticut, but responders felt the quake and registered a response as far away as Burlington, Vt.
A USGS spokesman said that the agency has not received any reports of damage from the quake.
