Tonight, just before 6:00 PM MST, we felt the house sway and the light fixtures swing in the kitchen. It was a 6.5 earthquake right here in Idaho, and the epicenter was in the central mountains above Stanley. Go to the USGS site and look up this particular earthquake, and you can help the scientists by recording what the earthquake felt like to you in your location. I have attached a FB post from CSI Geology Instructor (and author of Geology Underfoot in Southern Idaho), Shawn Willsey, as he explains the science behind the quake! March has been nothing short of memorable!
