earthquake

It's been a little quiet on the earthquake front in our part of America lately. But, no longer. An earthquake just occurred that was centered squarely in Elko, Nevada.

This earthquake was not large. In fact, it probably wouldn't even rearrange your china if you were sitting right on top of the epicenter. But, it did happen very near Challis, Idaho.

We get small earthquakes all the time thanks to our proximity to Yellowstone. But, a stronger than usual earthquake has just struck east of Pocatello. Welcome to Monday.

There have been several rather tiny quakes that have happened in the general vicinity of Yellowstone National Park over the last couple weeks. But, this shaker was bigger than those and happened way closer to Idaho than the others.

RENO, Nev. (AP) — The head of the University of Nevada's Seismological Laboratory says a trio of significant earthquakes that struck a remote area along the Sierra's eastern front early Wednesday were big enough to cause as much as $1 billion damage if they'd been centered beneath a big city.

An earthquake big enough that anyone near the epicenter could feel has just hit near Wells, Nevada.

The point where most of us cross from Idaho to Utah when we're traveling has just been hit with an earthquake.

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.

The USGS has just recorded an earthquake very near the border between Idaho and Utah.

The earthquakes are getting a little too close for comfort. An earthquake just happened to the west/northwest of Soda Springs, Idaho.

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.

Idaho isn’t immune to earthquakes.  Most of us will never know the destruction seen in Italy today, however.  Natural and man-made disasters can strike anywhere.  If roads become impassable and medical treatment is days away, what would you do...

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.
