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.
Yeah, I already posted that back up the thread. :-)
Post 49.
How was that last one?
Yeah...it takes SO long to write with this iPad that somebody usually beats me while I’m struggling to “type.” LOL
I worked in the Louisiana Pacific OSB mill right down the road from there at Chilco for almost four years. That was during the time they built the amusement park. I well remember the acrobats flying over my head as I drove down 95. That was pretty cool.

Memory is fading a bit. I guess I got the biplane ride about ‘73 To ‘76 when we went to one of my Mom’s Uncles 50th wedding anniversary somewhere south of Coeur d’Alene.
According to Heather Hart, “Henley Aerodome was founded in 1973 as posted on [Clayton] Henley’s grave stone.” The earliest reference which has been located to the Henley Aerodrome was its listing in the 1976 AOPA Airport Directory (according to Chris Kennedy). The earliest depiction which has been located of the Henley Aerodrome was a 9/19/76 aerial photo. It depicted Henley as having a single northeast/southwest runway.

I was there between ‘88 and ‘92.
The stemware and glasses in my curio cabinets were shaking and it was quite the experience a short time ago. Last time I felt one of these was when we lived in Vancouver, WA and Mt. St. Helens was preparing to blow. We took photos of the May 18th eruption from our backyard,
You’re scaring me. My son, his lovely wife, and my two beautiful, precious granddaughters are in North Idaho.
We’re north of Silverwood. My husband went to sleep early and didn’t feel it, but heard a thunk and it woke him up. Tomorrow AM we’ll scout around the house and see if something fell. I didn’t hear the thunk, but I definitely came unglued with the glassware shaking in fear of cleaning up broken glass (which thankfully did not happen).
Glad to hear it was no more than a shake.
Usually something in the 4s won’t feel like much unless you are close to the epicenter or the fault runs next to you.
I felt a hard shake last year in SoCal and was surprised to find it was a 5.1, but it was on a fault that runs near my house so it felt pretty big.
I’m good as long as we don’t have another Northridge or Sylmar quake. Those were both 6.7 quakes, and even though they were around 40 miles away they were scary as hell.
That would put the epicenter close to the mouth of the Clark Fork River.
a 4.2 about the same place @10:43 PM

I’m gonna blame it on the magma superdome.
I felt it in Coeur D’Alene. It was very noticeable.
All them taters is loosening up the ground....
