4.1 Earthquake in Nort Idaho
4/23/2015 | Noumenon

Posted on 04/23/2015 8:06:34 PM PDT by Noumenon

Just experienced a 4.1 shaker located on the east shore of Lake Pend Oreille here in north Idaho at 7:32 PM PST. We were shaken, but not stirred. Noticed one brief almost imperceptable aftershock.

I have an alibi.

I don't know anything about the fireworks stash...uh, that is, if it was that fireworks stash near Clark Fork...no, actually I don't know anything about a fireworks stash there, right on top of the still that Burt...never mind. I don't know anyone named Burt. Or his still. Or the fireworks stash. Why do you ask? Officer?

"Yellowstone Caldera related?"

Don't say it! I plan to be there in June!

“If I were to hazard a guess, I’d say that this area is still rebounding somewhat from the retreat of the ice over 13,000 years ago.”

You may well be correct. That part of Lake PDO was under a LOT of ice pushing down on the crust. Or, it could be a strike-slip fault like the BIG one at Mt. Borah.

Some of the great Lake Missoula floods flowed through that area. I’m sure that there are a lot of “silent” faults around here.

I live on Missouri Mountain in Sagle which is the granitic northern extension of the Idaho Batholith called the Kaniksu lobe. It felt like a giant helicopter was hovering over the house. Granite transmits Earthquake waves quite efficiently. There were fast vibrations with one big jolt at the end. I used to live in Alaska and I never felt one like this up there.

Pend Oreille is an amazing body of water. It’s very deep. If my memory is correct, it’s the deepest fresh water lake in North America.

Maybe it’s #2. Lake Tahoe is #1.

More CO2 is released annually by China’s coal seam fires than by all of the light duty vehicles in the US.

And yet that is still less than that released by Lord Foul, Harry the Whore, Hitlary, Pelooni, and Joe Plugs flappin their yaps.

"It is 43 miles (69 km) long, and 1,150 feet (350 m) deep in some regions, making it the fifth deepest in the United States."

Okay. You made me go look it up. :-)

Looks like I was way wrong. Tahoe is quite a bit deeper than Pend Oreille. But Crater Lake is a bit deeper than Tahoe.

The top five:

Crater Lake
(Oregon, USA) 1,943

Lake Tahoe
(California, USA / Nevada, USA) 1,645

Lake Chelan
(Washington, USA) 1,486

Lake Superior
(Ontario, Canada / Great Lakes / Michigan, USA / Minnesota, USA / Wisconsin, USA) 1,332

Lake Pend Oreille
(Idaho, USA) 1,152

Thanks for correcting my faulty memory. Hey, I’m getting old. ;-)

**China has many coal seam fires**

There are several fires in the Appalachian mountain coal seams and I read years ago that there were several in the NW corner of New Mexico.

Yet the EPA is more worried about water well pollution from power plant coal ash piles.

The fires apparently strongly resist extinguishment.

Very beautiful up there too. My in-laws lived in Athol back in the 80’s. Spent a few vacations up there with them back then.

You must have been pretty close to the fault to have felt much from a 4.1.

My Dad treated me to a spectacular biplane aerobatic ride at the old Henley Aerodrome when I was a teen in the sixties. Great times. My wife and I are thinking of moving to the Hayden Lake area where my grandparents lived for many years. We just love the area.

Nope, Pend Oreille is #5 in North America. Crater Lake is #1 followed by Tahoe.

And yes - we are about 12 miles away from the epicenter as reported by USGS
