Maybe. I was upstairs in my rather turn of the century wooden house. I felt a slight swaying for about 5 seconds. Downstairs ceiling lamps were slightly swaying. Outside on solid ground you might not really notice it. Their was no rumble like California quakes I've been in, where you hear them coming.
Glacier's close by though and you might feel it in a camper or trailer.

The quake was well outside Yellowstone Caldera and has nothing to do with Volcanism.

I'm in Helena and felt it pretty good. closets rattled, drawers opened-windows shook-couch shook but dogs kept sleeping. Epicenter SW of Butte near Dillon. That's actually a pretty good jolt.

Oh please. Didn't you watch "Supervolcano" on the Discovery Channel? LOL! :-)

Yellowstone may be blowing her top big time in the near future!

Except there isn't the slightest evidence of that, and on the contrary it's strongly indicated that the magma chamber isn't filled, or volatile.

A hydromagmatic explosion of the blister on the bottom of Yellowstone Lake has nothing to do with the whole caldera going up.

Well maybe now that the we've had this sizable quake, the tectonic plates may have shifted enough for old-faithful or Yellowstone caldera to spew more than steam. Something to keep an eye on.

Early reports are 5.6. That is a pretty serious shaker for your side of the San Andreas.
