hit 19m away in the Gros Ventre's
I didnt feel it, and no damage done.
They happen out that way frequently, but they normally hit in the mid 2 range.
Unless it hits on the Teton Fault its a non-event. If it hits hard on the fault, I hope my shack floats, cuz the dam is gonna go, and Wilson will be a swamp again.
Thank goodness the USGS dismantled the seismic network
:rolleyes:
It just means that the tetons are getting bigger :cool:
Didn't feel anything up here in the Bozone.
Liquifaction Rolls!

i would think that the earth vibrating would cause slides???
no??
I would guess that if the slope would slide from that mag. of a quake that far away, it had already slid b/c you were on it.Quote:

I slept through it... but both my brothers from Illinois woke up in a panic about the building collapsing.
No Stagecoach Bar? Now that truly would be a disaster!!!Quote:
