Wednesday’s quake is the second recorded one in NH in less than two weeks. On Dec. 22, a magnitude-2.7 earthquake centered in Concord shook around 11:15 p.m.

“They may be related as either a pair or a foreshock/aftershock,” said a USGS official.

There were no initial reports of any damage or injuries.

Moderately damaging earthquakes strike somewhere in the region every few decades, and smaller earthquakes are felt roughly twice a year. The Boston area was damaged three times within 28 years in the middle 1700′s, according to USGS.
