      That is a very thinly populated area, I doubt that Stanley has 300 residents this time of the year. That park, which has an excellent ghost town is even more empty. It's a long way to even a small town.

    Hey neighbor. I was in Challis, standing in the parts store when the 83' Borah Peak struck. I think it was a 6.9. I still have this vision of the parts shelves swaying like ocean waves. We didn't feel yesterday's here in Pocatello.

    Neat and informative video! I was working in my 3rd floor office in Meridian. Mixed reports from coworkers if they noticed it or not. Most of my immediate team did! I felt the building sway from NE to SW. Felt similar to the 7-point-something Searles Valley quakes in California (2019, I believe) I experienced while outside a coffee shop near Brea. Kind if like being in a carnival ride that just stopped and you feel the side-to-side swaying. Just not as intense. As an east coast native, it catches me off guard! Made for an interesting Monday morning.

    Your video was so rich in information and incredibly easy to understand. I’m really glad I found your channel! Earthmaster on RUclips mentioned that the earthquake occurred due to strain against the Intermountain Western regions, pressing up against the North American craton. He suggests it’s strictly tectonic stress caused by pressure on the West Coast. He also speculates that this could lead to bigger activity in the near future, possibly involving the southern Cascadia Subduction Zone. What are your thoughts on this?

    It's not quite the same area, but my understanding is that the Tetons are still rising a measurable amount each year and the lowlands to the east are also falling at the same time. Why aren't there more significant earthquakes associated with this?
