Hi Idaho,
So you just had a significant earthquake. That's not fun.

You might get aftershocks. Please remember to Drop! (or Lock!), Cover! & Hold on! until shaking finishes.
Please fill out a Did You Feel It? report:

Earthquakes in Idaho are part of that same Basin & Range geology we talked about with Utah.
It's NOT the same faults or seismic stress field (this is too far away to be an aftershock from Utah), but the same concept of sliding blocks under tension.

Idaho can also get earthquakes related to the Yellowstone hot spot as magma shifts underground, so let's head this off right away:
Yellowstone is at activity level green. Everything is normal. It's not gearing up to kill us in the near future.
