The U.S. Geological Survey says a magnitude-2.4 earthquake has been measured 17 miles off Bar Harbor.

Officials say they have heard from only one person, in Scituate, Massachusetts, who claimed to feel the earthquake at 5:20 p.m. Sunday.

Officials say the quake was the strongest recorded in Maine since a magnitude-2.5 quake near Jay in May. Two minor earthquakes were recorded in March on the New Hampshire-Maine border near Grafton Notch.

The last significant earthquake in Maine happened on Oct. 2, 2006, about 45 miles southeast of Bangor. The largest earthquake recorded in Maine, with a recorded magnitude of 5.1, happened in 1904.
