9th Earthquake Rattles Eastern Connecticut

Plainfield police have received more phone calls reporting an earthquake this morning, the ninth to rattle the area since last Thursday.

The Weston Observatory at Boston College is recording a magnitude 2.1 earthquake and they are calling it an aftershock.

Police said they heard a boom and felt the ground shake a little.

A 3 point 3 magnitude quake knocked pictures off walls and left homeowners more shaken than several smaller quakes that hit the Plainfield area in the last week

The website for the Weston Observatory is recording activity at 7:27 a.m. on Tuesday, centered around 3 and a half miles south-southwest of Danielson.

The observatory is sending a team to Plainfield today to investigate the recent activity.

On Monday, there were several earthquakes in the area, including a magnitude 3.3 tremor around 6:30 a.m. That was stronger than the previous quakes over the last few days.

The quake rattled residents in Plainfield and Moosup around 930 Thursday morning
