An earthquake struck southern New England on Sunday morning but there were no reports of serious damage.
The earthquake centered a few miles off the coast of New Bedford in Buzzards Bay struck just after 9 a.m., according to Randy Baldwin, a geophysicist with the U.S. Geological Survey’s National Earthquake Information Center.
The USGS at first said the earthquake had a magnitude of 4.0, but it was later downgraded to 3.6.
The earthquake struck at a depth of a little more than 15 kilometers (9.3 miles) and was felt across southeastern Massachusetts, Rhode Island and into Connecticut.
