Claudio Berti, director of Idaho’s geological survey, was driving from Moscow to Boise for a Conference on Emergency Management Association in Monday Morning, when the largest earthquake that the state has been experiencing in nearly a year has shook Central Idaho.
The US geological survey reported a magnitude of 4.2 at 9:32, originated in Caster County, according to the Agency’s website. The reported epicenter is located 16 miles west-northwest of Clayton.
This happened at a depth of about 7 miles, USGS said.
It was a good reminder, Berti said that Idaho was not immunized against the risks of the natural world.
“Natural beauty is always emphasized by some very strong powers that actively shape it,” Berti told Idaho’s holding on the phone. “And sometimes these forces must be carefully lived.”
Although not big enough to cause a lot of damage, the earthquake would be felt by these internal structures near the epicenter, according to Berti.
“I would not be surprised if part of your dust from your beams is shaken and you see that it falls down or you (hear) a cabinet that rattles,” Berti said.
The expert said that it was possible that Idahans could live as far as the outskirts of Boyz felt a shake.
The Caster County Sheriff’s service told the statesman that she had not received instant messages of injuries or damage.
Bertie also warned that the Afters were common and Idaho could feel additional earthquakes on Monday or in the next few days.
“Every time there is a big earthquake, a series of afters helps to release this energy stored in these rocks,” Berti said.
Idaho did not survive an earthquake with the size of Monday 2024, when an earthquake of magnitude 4.9 struck near the Smiths ferry, north of Boyz.
The US geological survey did not immediately return the statesman’s request for more information.
