Idaho shake

[gpidaho]

Not unusual to some of you in LoCal but we just had a pretty good rolling earthquake here in the Boise valley. First one of any notice since the early 80s. Gp

One thing I dont miss about Japan or California. Like my earth non moving.

We used to have some in the DFW area.

They never happened until a few years ago.
I'm sure it's unrelated..... But somehow, the earth quakes stopped when they quit fracking.

[Kenstone]

yep
and one after shock...so far

:mrgreen:

[Hogtamer]

I have read there has been a huge number in the area after a 5.3 in Utah.....bad feeling.

[Outer Rondacker]

We had one here in upstate NY just days before the Utah one. We never got quacks.

[Hogtamer]

4.6 on the first and 3 aftershocks

This one was centered in the central Idaho mountains and I'm hearing 6.3 to 6.5. It wasn't a sharp shock here at my place, just a rolling effect. Nothing cracked or broke all pictures still hanging so all's well if a little unusual. Gp

[Hogtamer]

Wow, I didn't read down far enough. It was a 6.5. Hold on!

Wife and I rode out the roller coaster sitting in our living room, in Boise. The one in 1983 was a bit more exciting. We were laying in our waterbed when it hit, and the waves were "gnarly"!!!

[Three44s]

My wife and I drove through the Stanley area back in ‘14. I think we would have been on Hwy 21 where the boulders tumbled on to the road surface?

We came south from McCall and then cut east before getting to Boise. We stayed in the mountains until we had to swing out at a place called Arco? We crossed a desert and passed by the National Nuclear Lab on the way to Idaho Falls. Our destination was West Yellowstone.

After spending some time in the Park we circled around to the south and then drove up to Salmon ID. Stopped and had lunch and perused a store (clothing I believe). The owner, an older gentleman, remembered Elmer Keith .... liked him but not so highly of Ted.

We kept traveling north and climbed out and into Montana, descended into Hamilton and Darby. Stayed the night in Missoula. Got on I 90 and sailed home to Central WA.

I will say I have never seen so much pavement stuck to such steep ground!

Felt it in Meridian! My wife and I were on the couch and I was on the phone. I thought it was the wind at first but was talking to a guy in Nampa who felt it also.

It’s pretty unnerving when the things you think are solid begin to shake. (I’m sure there’s a sermon in there somewhere.)

[bikerbeans]

Idaho and Utah are fairly close to Yellowstone, hmmmmmh?!?!:(

BB

[ioon44]

Yes, that is what I was thinking.

[Idaho Mule]

We felt it in Viola too. As others said it was a roller, not sharp. Seemed to last about 20 to 30 seconds here. I was in my shop,heard a roar that I thought was wind at first until I noticed my Honda SxS was jiggling around. Wife was working in kitchen and she felt it too. JW

[Markopolo]

last 24hrs in alaska....

the orange ones are in the 3+ magnitude...

[MUSTANG]

Must have slept through it; wife and I did not Notice anything up near the 48th Parallel of Montana.

[MT Gianni]

It rolled through western MT too.

Mother earth is angry that the climate change nuts think they can do a better job than she can.

[abunaitoo]

I remember years ago we had a kind of big one.
Lasted a couple of seconds.
We had no damage or anything falling down.
Not even pictures on the wall.
The whole island had to shut down because the power for the whole island went off.
People all over were stuck in the elevators.
Lasted for a whole day.
Since then, I've wondered what would happen if we had a really big one.

[jimlj]

Utah... "we had a 5.7 earth quake"
Idaho...."hold my beer"

I felt the Utah quake here in Wyoming. Didn't feel the Idaho quake

[lightman]

It's got to be a little scary when the ground under you feet starts to shake. I hope all of you guys in those areas are ok.

[obssd1958]

Everyone seems to be okay, and I haven't heard of any real damage. We did have one neighbor who had to have the gas company come out and fix their leaky fitting on the gas meter. Checked ours, and found no issues.

[gpidaho]

The only real damage shown on the local news was to the sandstone cross on top of Boise's historic cathedral. Cross was broken at it's base and had to be taken down by crane before it fell. I haven't heard of anyone being injured. All in all an unusual event but could have been much worse it there hadn't been miles of granite mountains between us here in the valley and the remote mountains where the quake occurred.

:2_high5:

Barely felt anything. I had just woke up and thought I was just still light-headed from sleeping, until I saw my fan switch swaying. My girlfriend from California texted me immediately asking if I had felt it. She knew instantly what was going on, but, she lives in a trailer, so maybe it was more pronounced than in my 110yr old house.

[shdwlkr]

My home in Boise swayed nicely for a few seconds, thank goodness everything stayed where it was supposed too.
