PLAINFIELD, Conn. (AP) In what's becoming a daily event, a minor earthquake has shaken parts of eastern Connecticut.

The federal Geological Service confirmed a 2.0-magnitude earthquake at about 6:30 a.m. Wednesday in Plainfield. It was the third consecutive day an earthquake was felt in the area.

A 2.1 magnitude earthquake rattled Plainfield and surrounding areas Tuesday morning. It was in the same area as five small earthquakes on Monday morning.

Last Thursday, a 2.0 to 2.2-magnitude earthquake was felt in Plainfield.

Paul Yellen, Plainfield's emergency management director, told WFSB that no significant damage to utilities or roads has been reported.

A research scientist at the Weston Observatory says a series of small earthquakes in the Northeast is not unusual because the eastern U.S. is atop a tectonic plate affected by geological pressure.
