I'm always surprised to see that Salt Lake City is north of Denver.

Fortunately I'm in the moderately screwed area.

Not the guaranteed boned.

That's a pretty good shake.
I was in a 7.6 once.

Never again

Just so everyone knows, there were also M6.5 and M6.2 earthquakes in this area in 1944 and 1945, and there are small ones often. It's part of the region where basin and range normal faulting generates earthquakes. This event is not without precedent! :) It also has nothing to do with or will impact Yellowstone!

Edit: also forgot the 6.9 in 1983! Borah Peak earthquake
I should also add that this info comes from former Boise State professor Jim Zollweg, and current Western Washington University professor Jackie Caplan-Auerbach. Sources are important!

Until quakes start happening under the caldera I’m not worried!

graupeled on


Ok, have legit never heard this word. I live in South Dakota so we get all the crap weather but have never heard of graupeled. Is that some combination of rain, ice, and snow? Because that happened here two days ago.

You do any hunting up there? I have a place in Emigrant we go for elk and mules. Been wanting to head NW near flathead for a hunt in next couple years though

I could see both Yellowstone and the New Madrid fault popping off over the next decade.

I heard from someone after this quake that we are unlikely to see Yellowstone erupt in our lifetime because "the amount of liquid magma in the Yellowstone magma chamber is not sufficient to support a VEI 8 eruption"

Not a clue if that's true or anything close to even a real sentence but I'm gonna believe it because it makes me feel better.

I went to the liquor store and bought some whiskey. I do not like this shite one bit.

New Madrid is overdue.

I’m in Bozeman MT, was it around 5:40 this afternoon? I was at work and got a text from a coworker who lives down the road asking if we felt it.

Coincidentally, it was around 600 miles of flying Skynyrd had done on that fateful flight out of Greenville SC in 1977

More unsettling than frightening. It screws up your balance for a few seconds. It's a weird feeling.
