An early morning earthquake shook the Contoocook and Concord area, the Weston Observatory at Boston College confirmed today.

The 2.4-scale earthquake shook some Granite Staters awake around 5 a.m. Wednesday.

The New Hampshire area is not unfamiliar with such seismic activity. Just last month, a magnitude 2.7 quake struck near East Kingston, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
