The village of McAdam, New Brunswick is still shaking after last weekend's minor earthquake.
Residents say they felt yet another tremor there Wednesday, just the latest in what's become an almost daily occurrence. No fewer than six minor quakes have rattled McAdam since Saturday.
"We've never had this before, ever, as frequently as we've had it," says McAdam resident Harold Little.
Little has lived in the village almost all of his life. He says he felt the ground rumble before, but not like it has in the past few days.
He says the tremors are unsettling.
"I'm not scared, but I am worried, that you know, living here as long as I have, why all of a sudden do we get these? You know, like four or five days in a row, that's what kind of, kind of throws you off," says Little.
While Eastern Canada isn't a hot bed of seismic activity, experts say it is a moderate risk area.
Karl Butler is a professor of earth sciences at the University of New Brunswick. He says what's happening in McAdam should be expected.
"There is a fault that runs up from Passamaquoddy Bay, called the Oak Bay Fault. It runs through that area and another fault runs northeast, called the Fredericton Fault and they intersect near that region," says Butler.
Natural Resources Canada says all of the seismic activity being heard and felt here is occurring two kilometres to the northwest.
No major damage has been reported, but Maxine Watson says the quakes knocked pieces of brick from her chimney. She says some neighbours are talking about leaving town, but she's staying put.
"It's scary when it happens. It makes you jump, but I don't feel like anything serious is going to happen," says Watson. "I'm not frightened to live here. I think we're on solid ground."
