Okay i am very nervous right now. I was on my computer and then my whole room started to shake. It wasnt very strong but i felt it and saw my desk and dresser shaking and it was very scary. I didnt know what to do so I went under the doorway then to my brother. I Live in New Hampshire and it is snowing right now. My brother also felt it. We are very scared. Was that an earthquake? We want to be on our guard cause in December we had a massive ice storm that left us without power for 12 days. Any comments?

That was an earthquake, but a very weak one. Probably a 3.4. Next time, if it is stronger, don’t go under the doorway. Crouch down under a table and cover your head. If you have heavy things on top shelves, put them on lower shelves or the ground. Also, after a strong earthquake, leave the building and go away from electric chords or buildings. There could be an aftershock. If you are in a car when the earthquake hits, don’t leave it. After the earthquake, leave the car and go to open spaces away from electric chords. I hope this gets you prepared.
The US Geologic Survey reports no significant earthquakes in New England over the past week. Other possible causes for the shaking might include traffic, landslide/avalanche, etc.
Link is to the official USGS real-time earthquake map. Recent quakes are in red. The small quake noted near the New Hampshire-Vermont border occurred last week and was too small to cause significant shaking.
