Swarm of Earthquakes Detected in NB

There have been a bunch of low-level earthquakes south of Sussex in the last month. Maurice Lamontagne at Natural Resources Canada says they were between September 19th and October 5th, in an area south of Route 111 between Sussex and St. Martin’s. The quakes were picked up by sensors that monitor fracking activities that are capable of detecting earthquakes as low as on the richter scale. Officials say this latest swarm of quakes was natural and not man made.
