earthquake

It wasn't a large one, but there was an earthquake in Idaho today. The USGS is reporting that there was a 2.5 earthquake registered north of Boise near Cascade, Idaho.

It's always fun to learn that experts think that your part of the country will one day disappear in a cloud of rubble. That's right. Earthquake experts believe that a huge earthquake and tsunami will someday end life as we know it. Have a nice day.

There was a rather small earthquake today that would normally not be worth mentioning except for the fact that this happened in a very famous place. It occurred just to the south of Old Faithful in Yellowstone National Park.

I tend to be an earthquake junkie. I lived in central California a couple years after the 1989 quake that happened during the World Series. But, even I would be hard pressed to think of a valid reason to mention this tiny quake that just happened near Challis, Idaho.

WEST YELLOWSTONE, Mont. (AP) — Officials say no damage has been reported following 4.3-magnitude earthquake Monday morning in a lightly populated area in western Montana just north of the Idaho border.

The USGS is reporting that a 3.9 earthquake hit today just south of Elko, Nevada. Granted, a 3.9 isn't the type of quake you see making California fall into the ocean in the movies. But, it's big enough that it makes you pay attention.

It is easy to forget that we live in earthquake country. Yes, Idaho has on occasion gotten a pretty good shaking in the past. Last night, there was another small quake although I'm doubting you felt this one.

The USGS has just released an alarming new report regarding the possibility of a damaging earthquake happening in Idaho and/or Utah. Here are the details that were just posted on the USGS Facebook page.

Did you feel the 2.6 earthquake that happened just before midnight Saturday night near Challis, Idaho? Of course, you didn't. An earthquake this small wouldn't wake the chickens if their hen house was located directly over where the 2.6 was centered.

Did you feel the "massive" earthquakes in Idaho this morning? Yes, there's some sarcasm here cause they weren't massive at all. There was a 2.9 and a 2.8 earthquake 16km NE of Challis, Idaho.

There is no proven way to accurately predict earthquakes. However, there is concern among seismologists that something big may be brewing in the Pacific Northwest due to the fact that there have been thousands of earthquakes in the region over the past two weeks.

Challis, Idaho ( KMVT-TV / KSVT-TV ) - Another earthquake is being reported in the Challis area this Monday afternoon.
