This has not been a good day for earthquakes. First, Japan was struck by a major quake and now, another quake has occurred near the Old Faithful Geyser in Yellowstone National Park.
There has just been a relatively small earthquake north of Boise. According to the USGS, the quake was located around 20 km to the southwest of Cascade, Idaho.
Yes, I am kidding a little bit about that 'panic' thing. There has been an earthquake late Sunday morning in West Yellowstone, but it's not exactly a mammoth quake that is likely to wake the super-volcano.
Let's hope this wasn't a precursor to something bigger. The USGS has reported that a fairly large earthquake happened Saturday afternoon in Western Wyoming near the Idaho border.
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.
