in so. Idaho. Small but very noticeable. It rocked my chair a little. It's the biggest we've had since the Borah quake in 83 but it was not even close to that one.

The plane I'm in was rocking a little bit. People are freaking out on Facebook... not a big deal to me, been through lots of them before.

Seems like it rocked a pretty large area. Wonder where the epicenter was?

Is Yellowstone still there? Is Sacramento now beachfront property?

M 2.6 Hebgen Lake

Up here, SW of Boise 50 miles, near Ontario, I thought it felt a bit stronger than I remembered from '83.

The waves seemed to be of longer duration than I remembered from before. But then, that was nearly 40 years ago.

Any news as to the epicenter and amplitude yet?

Timbermaster: Indeed it has been reported from a very large area - maybe it WAS stronger than the initial guess I made of a 3.8 magnitude tremor?
Hope no one was harmed - it stopped our "grandfather clock".
What else is gonna happen?
Sheesh.

That's no bueno.....

North of Stanley, ID. 6.5 is initial report.

REPORT

That's pretty close to the Borah quake in '83. That one shook things up pretty good.

Being a rafter wonder if it caused slides in the Middle Fork and Salmon.

My son noticed it, I didn't.

That last one in '83 killed two kids in Challis as I remember. I think bricks or blocks from a collapsing wall hit them as they walked to school. I know it caused $millions in damages to roads, wells, and especially concrete lined irrigation ditches around Mackay.

I hope the local residents fared better this time.

Waiting to hear from our resident pistolero from that region.

Felt it in Grangeville

70 miles west of Challis, closer to Stanley.

Not a lot of folks up there. Damage will hopefully be minor.

I felt it here, about 20 miles east of Helena MT.

Just a little swaying of the vertical blinds. Seemed like it lasted 5-10 seconds

Our house jiggled a bit here...

NW Montana is kinda a hot spot for activity, mostly small...

Felt it here in Bonners Ferry..

I hope you all break off and fall into the ocean!

Wait.

I remember the one in 83. I think that hit 7 on the Rictor scale. We felt it in Great Falls, MT.

Wrong one that one was at 9amish this morning. We are talking about the Idaho quake. 6.5

My farts register higher than that - just sayin . . .

6.5 will get your attention

My daughter lives on the 11th floor of an apartment building in Lethbridge Alberta. We were talking to her on messenger when she said her apartment was swaying. It seemed to go on for a while. Apparently it may have been felt in Calgary where I am, but we didn't feel anything.

I am about 40 air miles from the epicenter of todays quake I was in the basement and the floor felt as though it was rippling there was a bit of wall movement and a lamp swayed some, a quick inventory did not show any apparent structure damage but I will take a better look tomorrow.

For anyone who may be familiar with the area it appears that the epicenter was in the Cape Horn area, my best guess would be somewhere near Sheep Mountain there is not a lot around there to be damaged unless it caused some landslides or slid in some backcountry roads which are not open this time of year anyway. That area is about 10 airmiles from Stanley and perhaps 5 miles north.

Felt like someone was trying to pull my house off the foundation.
