At around 1740 hours this evening, several Rowley residents (and firefighters) reported feeling a rumble. Various people described it as a tree falling, a plow passing (it is snowing, after all,) or a distant explosion. One resident called 911 to report he thought a building had collapsed.
Rowley police and firefighters were dispatched to check the area, but found nothing. At the same time, authorities in Groveland, West Newbury, and Newburyport were investigating similar reports.
Reports are now coming in that a seismograph in Amesbury registered a seismic event. So where were you for the Big Earthquake of Christmas 2008, and did you feel it?
Update: At 2020 hours we received word from the MA Emergency Management Agency confirming a 1.8 magnitude earthquake centered in Haverhill, MA. It's official.
