In what's becoming a daily event, another minor earthquake has shaken parts of eastern Connecticut. The U.S. Geological Service confirmed a 2.0-magnitude earthquake at about 6:30 Wednesday morning in Plainfield.Wednesday was the third consecutive day an earthquake was felt in the area.
A 2.1 magnitude quake rattled Plainfield and surrounding areas Tuesday morning following five small earthquakes in the same region Monday morning.
Last Thursday, a roughly 2.1-magnitude earthquake was felt in town.
Paul Yellen, Plainfield's emergency management director, told WFSB television that no significant damage to utilities or roads has been reported.
A research scientist at the Weston Observatory says a series of small earthquakes in the Northeast is not unusual because the eastern United States sits atop a tectonic plate affected by geological pressure.
