Persistent tremors in Bar Harbor, a tornado in North Berwick.

Busy week for Mother Nature.

Maine’s not a regular for natural disasters – for all our snow we don’t get many blizzards – but it’s in the perfect spot for nearly anything to happen, anytime.

No stranger to hurricanes, but no Florida. Subject to twisters, but no Texas.

“We get a taste of everything,” said Jim Hayes, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service in Gray.

As for tornadoes, the state’s seen roughly 24 in the past 15 years.

A spokesman for the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration said in an e-mail exchange that Pennsylvania and New York see more activity in the Northeast because of larger land areas and their positions relative to spring and fall polar fronts and storm tracks.

Maine hasn’t had a string of earthquakes like the ones felt recently Down East since 2000 in western Maine, said Henry Berry, a physical geologist at the Maine Geological Survey. The state has small, randomly spread quakes all of the time.

“Wherever you have mountains, you still have gravity acting on these ancient faults. Or you have ancient stresses that haven’t been released from when these mountains were built,” said John Bellini, geophysicist at the National Earthquake Information Center.

There is the risk of a serious, 6.0 magnitude quake here once every 330 years, according to the Maine Geological Survey.

“If you don’t plan to live, say, more than 200 years, maybe you wouldn’t worry about it,” Berry said. “It’s a very low probability, but it’s not a ‘no probability.'”

Got an eye on the future? Peak hurricane season in Maine ended last week, but the state isn’t out of the windy woods yet.

Ooh, and break out the galoshes: Flood season starts this month.
