Good morning all,
The USGS map is showing a M3.3 in easternmost Connecticut in the last your. We should wait and see if it is real, but M3+ are quite rate around Rhode Island (where I live). There is no focal mechanism yet and there probably will not be one on the USGS page, but I'll guess the mechanism with show an ENE-WSW P axis, and it may be thrust (or strike-slip). The link is to the largest historic earthquake in that state (east of New York City)
