A 4.0-magnitude earthquake was felt across New Hampshire at 7:12 last night and early reports indicated people were shaken, but not hurt.

Its tremors were felt as far south as Cape Cod, Mass., according to Twitter posts of reporters there. The quake was also felt in Vermont, Rhode Island and Connecticut, the Associated Press reported.
