An earthquake near Stanley rattled parts of Idaho early Friday morning.

The first day of October began like so many other mornings this year for those who live near Stanley, Idaho.

Thursday morning, one of the largest earthquakes in the nation over the last week hit near Cascade, Idaho.

The year 2020 has been a turbulent one from a subterranean point of view for Idaho cities such as Stanley and Challis.

A magnitude 5.7 earthquake hit north central Utah not far from downtown Salt Lake City this morning.

An earthquake rattled eastern Idaho and shook the ground in Utah and Wyoming. The United States Geological Survey reports the 4.3 magnitude quake happened at around 8:30 p.m. Thursday evening.

It's always fun when you're scrolling through the news and you see stuff like this. It's word that scientists are now saying that Mount St. Helens is "recharging". That sound kinda dangerous when it comes to volcanoes, but what does it really mean?

None have been large, but the recent swarm of small earthquakes near Seattle is more than enough to get your attention.

I have good news and bad news about Mount St. Helens. The bad news? The volcano just experienced another massive swarm of earthquakes. The good news? It's probably nothing to worry about - maybe.

Curiosity killed the cat, or so I'm told. I don't know about the cat, but curiosity led me to research the real risk of a major earthquake in the Magic Valley. What I found is not comforting.

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.

For whatever reason, I became curious about exactly how dangerous the volcanoes are that are somewhat close to Idaho. I learned several things that made me sorry that I ever researched this stuff in the first place.

I must admit that I laughed out loud when I first saw this. But, not in a "wow, that's really funny" kind-of-way. It was more of a "doesn't that just figure" kind of laugh. There's a report that spring weather will be arriving early for much of the country, except (you guessed it) 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.

We share earthquakes with you all the time. Most are small quakes near Yellowstone, since that's more or less normal there. But, did you know that there have been a swarm of quakes north of Twin Falls over the last two weeks?

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

The USGS registered two relatively strong quakes off the coast of Oregon on Sunday. Both were located near the Blanco Fracture Zone.

We're accustomed to seeing earthquakes near Challis or in southeastern Idaho. But, today, there has been an earthquake in Northern Idaho.

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