The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) said a small earthquake happened in Stamford on Monday morning. The 1.3 magnitude quake happened just before noon around 11:55 a.m. The USGS said the earthquake was reported about five kilometers away from North Stamford, in close proximity to the Merritt Parkway. This comes after multiple residents reported tremors Thursday night and into Friday morning. Some residents described the noise as a series of loud explosions, causing homes to shake and even knock pictures off walls. It’s unknown if the tremors are connected to Monday’s earthquake. Stamford Mayor Caroline Simmons said no injuries or damage were reported. “We will continue to monitor this situation and provide any updates as we have them,” Simmons said on Facebook.
