Viewers across the state in towns such as Danielson, Enfield, Groton, Newington, Mystic, Vernon, Windsor and Woodbury said they felt the impact.

NBC Boston said some of their viewers in Massachusetts and Rhode Island also reported feeling the earthquake.

The seismograph in Westport captured the earthquake as well.

On the Richter magnitude scale, this morning's earthquake (magnitude 4.0) is considered a "light" earthquake, which is often felt and could cause some minor property damage.

A meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Boston said his house has a new stress crack after the earthquake.

It's unclear if there are other reports of damage.
