Baxters Corner (11.5 km east of epicenter) [Map] / Slight shaking (MMI III) / Rattling, vibration / 2-5 s : Bang heard, followed by a hole vibration stronger than the vibration of a nearby thunderclap. Went outside and could still hear the rumble subside.

near Hampton, New Brunswick (4 miles east of epicenter) [Map] / Very weak shaking (MMI II) / 2-5 s : Faint shaking, but it was more of a loud noise. My husband and I were watching a show, he thought it was thunder on TV and I said no way. I rewound the show to where he thought the thunder should be and it wasn’t there. It sounded like a big boom.

Hampton, N.B / Very weak shaking (MMI II) / 5-10 s : I was in bed watching TV when it happened. I asked my husband if he heard the thunder. When it felt like a very faint rumble and vibration, I thought maybe a big truck was doing construction while the house was being built in our subdivision, then I thought, “It can’t be, it’s too late for that.”
