We felt it in Dresden Maine, quite strong, shook our recliners and rumbled. We live along the River. Heather

We're on Bellevue Road and certainly felt the tremors! Initially we couldn't imagine what it was....after checking out the weather, the house and yard for any explanation decided it had to be a greater, deeper systemic happening!
