I guess the geology is old and the plates are relatively stable. However, I grew up in the Middletown-Portland, Connecticut, area and there are interesting phenomena around that part of the state. The "Moodus Noises" exist and have been witnessed by hundreds of people going back to colonial times. The most recent explanation seems to be small earthquakes. Job's Pond in Portland rises and falls many feet over the space of a year with no relation to the amount of rainfall. (The pond has been renamed to _____ Lake.) There is an area in Portland (it's probably a housing development now) where the ground moves and shakes. Old time local people used to talk about it. I experienced it once myself when I parked there with a college boyfriend and the car began to rock like a small boat in a storm. Does anyone know more?
