We don’t live in an earthquake-prone area like California, but 408 recorded Earthquakes have happened in Massachusetts from 1668 to 2016. However, after the earthquake the common question we heard was– Does my home policy cover me for Earthquakes?
There is a fault line called Clinton-Newbury Fault that runs 97 miles through Massachusetts. Although uncommon, we do have earthquakes here in Massachusetts. We were awoken to a 3.6 magnitude quake recently. It not only rattled our homes, but many were startled by the shake and loud bang that occurred. We did field several calls with minor to moderate damage.
News flash! Another earthquake, a minor one, occurred Sunday, morning November 22, southwest of Bliss Corner, Massachusetts. Sunday’s earthquake was much weaker with only a 2.0 magnitude.
