[MAIL] An earthquake struck north of Boise Tuesday evening, with people across a large area reporting shaking.
The U.S. Geological Survey reports the magnitude 6.5 temblor struck just before 6 p.m. It was centered 73 miles northeast of Meridian, near the rural mountain town of Stanley. There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries.
More than 2 million live in the region that could feel the Idaho quake, according to the USGS, with reports of shaking coming in from as far away as Helena, Montana, and Salt Lake City, Utah.
Tuesday's quake comes as it was revealed around 600 quakes have hit across Utah and surrounding areas after a 5.7 magnitude earthquake was felt near Salt Lake City about two weeks ago, according to University of Utah Seismograph Stations. |
