The U.S. Geological Survey initially reported the earthquake's magnitude as 4.1, but it was later revised to 3.8. Despite the relatively low magnitude, the earthquake's impact was notable due to the region's low seismic activity and the rarity of such events. New Hampshire, for instance, has recorded only 65 earthquakes above a 2.1 magnitude since 1638.No injuries or significant damage were reported. However, the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard temporarily suspended operations to evaluate the area for potential impacts, and the Seabrook Station Nuclear Plant confirmed that the earthquake did not affect its operations.

This event is a reminder that while earthquakes are less common on the East Coast compared to the West Coast, they can still occur and have noticeable effects. The region does experience a certain degree of low-level seismic activity, and larger earthquakes, though rare, are not out of the question.
