The U.S. Geological Survey is confirming that an earthquake happened at 10:38 a.m. Monday in Northern New Mexico.
The center of the 3.8 magnitude earthquake was 11miles north of Santa Fe, two miles west of Chupadero, four miles southeast of Cuyamungue and 62 miles northeast of Albuquerque.

We talked to a geophysics professor from New Mexico Tech in Socorro who told us the quake was felt for about ten seconds, was very noticeable and was probably felt by thousands of people.
Aftershocks are possible over the next few days, he said.
