STAMFORD, CT (WFSB) - A minor earthquake registering 1.3 on the Richter scale struck Stamford at 11:55 a.m. on Monday, shaking homes and prompting numerous calls to emergency services.
The earthquake comes just days after a series of unexplained incidents in the North Stamford area.
On Thursday, November 14, the Stamford Fire Department responded to dozens of 911 calls reporting explosions in the same region.
Residents reported feeling strong tremors, which shook homes in the vicinity. In response, fire crews from the Stamford Fire Department, Long Ridge Fire Company, and Turn of River Fire Department were dispatched to investigate.
Despite an extensive search of the area, no evidence of explosions or external damage was found.
The cause of the reported blasts remained unclear, prompting a follow-up investigation.
Then, on Friday morning at 3:45 a.m., additional reports of explosions came in, triggering a secondary investigation.
Once again, no immediate sources of concern were identified.
Representatives from Tennessee Gas Pipeline, which operates a major transmission line in the area, and Eversource Gas confirmed that their systems were functioning normally, with no irregularities reported.
At this time, local police say the cause of the disturbances last week remains undetermined.
For updates or more information, the Stamford Fire Department's Public Information Hotline is available at 203-977-5500.
