緬因州約克港海岸發生3.8級地震,震感波及新英格蘭地區

週一早上,一場3.8級的地震襲擊了緬因州約克港海岸,震動波及新英格蘭地區,包括麻薩諸塞州的波士頓。地震發生在上午約10點22分,最初報告為4.1級,隨後被美國地質調查局(USGS)下調。震央位於約克港東南約8英里處,震源深度超過8英里。

波士頓及周邊地區的居民報告感受到持續數秒的震動。社交媒體帖子及USGS數據顯示,震感南至羅德島,北至緬因州波特蘭。儘管震感廣泛,但沒有立即報告的損壞或傷亡。麻薩諸塞州緊急管理署確認,雖然全州都有震感報告,但沒有記錄到結構損壞或緊急情況。

緬因州南部的約克警察局也報告稱,建築物或基礎設施沒有受到損害。警長布萊恩·麥克尼斯指出,雖然許多人感受到地震,但「一切似乎都與地震前一樣」。

與美國西部相比,新英格蘭地區的地震相對較少,但每年大約會發生兩次較小的地震,每隔幾十年會發生一次中等規模的地震。該地區較老且密度較高的岩石使地震波傳播得更遠,這解釋了為什麼震感如此廣泛。USGS確認此次地震後沒有海嘯威脅。

此次地震之前,2024年4月曾發生一場4.8級地震,震央位於新澤西附近,影響了數百萬人。歷史記錄顯示,新英格蘭地區過去曾發生過重大地震,包括1755年麻薩諸塞州安角附近的一場6.0級地震,造成了廣泛的破壞。

官員們敦促居民保持警惕,以防潛在的餘震,儘管目前沒有立即報告的餘震。緬因州緊急管理署建議居民檢查家中是否有損壞,並避免在非緊急情況下撥打911。
