Toucher & Rich: Boston Earthquake 2012

A 4.0 magnitude earthquake was felt across New England Tuesday night. It was centered three miles west of Hollis Center, Maine and occurred at 7:12pm. The quake was felt as far west as Pittsburgh and as far south as Connecticut.

Fred admitted that he didn't feel anything while Rich said he felt his couch vibrate slightly.

But when the ground shakes here in New England, you know the news is going to make a big deal out it of.

And while the local newscasts are usually the ones to overreact, this time those that felt the rumbling were just as bad.

One woman thought it could have been her cat, and another her husband doing some work in the yard.

Luckily there are no reports of any injuries or major damage, so let's all enjoy a good overblown story.

And rest assure, we will rebuild!
