A police dispatcher in Granby, Conn., who declined to give her name, said she felt a rumble that shook the building. They also received dozens of calls reporting an apparent earthquake, she said. My first thought was that a tree fell down and hit the house. Other Massachusetts communities where the shaking was felt included Northampton, Russell, Huntington and Westfield. Winsted, Conn., police dispatcher Sue Ryan said she also felt the rumble.
Experts say about half a dozen earthquakes hit New England each year.
