WIN FALLS — A small earthquake rattled southern Idaho Tuesday afternoon.
People reported feeling the quake around the Magic Valley, in the Wood River Valley, the Treasure Valley, Pocatello, and in Missoula, Montana.
The U.S. Geological Survey says the 6.5 magnitude quake was centered about 45 miles west of Challis at 5:52 p.m.

Two fairly long (5 secs) tremors in Boise.
Feeling it, and panic are two very different things
You might have neuropathy.
My wife and I were grocery shopping in Boise when it happened. Others in the store were mildly freaked out, but I just wanted to laugh for some reason. I was living in the Bay Area in October of ‘89, so I know what a major earthquake is like.
A relative in Montana felt it.
I felt it and looked at the clock......
*********
Was the clock shaking or did it chime in?
I am in Spokane and didn’t feel a thing. But then, I haven’t felt the earth move since 1978.
I posted a vanity. I didn’t;t see this post. sorry
6.5 is what Californians use to stir their morning coffee.
Right 6.5 is pretty big one.
2 at Yellowstone this morning 2.5+ ea
How much is felt depends a lot on what kind of material your house is built on.
We live in eastern Idaho and have a lot of shallow ground water and poorly compacted gravels and clay and it rocked the hell out of our place...knocked a couple of trinkets off a shelf, had the dog barking, and the blinds swaying.
I lived in Chile for almost 6-years and have experienced a LOT of quakes...this one reminded me of a few.
I felt it up past Bonners Ferry near the Canadian Border. I was also working at a Glass plant in Lathrop Ca during the 89 Bay earthquake.
There have already been around a dozen aftershocks...strongest was 4.6M; a bunch in the 3.5M range.
Challis. Cup of trembling.
You can't make this stuff up.
In Northwest Montana, felt nothing. Missoula is 200 miles away.

Did you feel anything in Hayden, or are you stuck in California right now?
Small? Being near the epicenter of a 6.5, many would think the world is coming to an end.
No joke.
BS...You've clearly never been near the epicenter of a 6.5.
