M4.9 #earthquake near Smiths Ferry, ID. This area is infrequently seismically active so this isn't out of norm, though this is stronger than most I can recall.

And here's the graph from my other seismograph at my parents' house in Salmon. #earthquake

@zebpalmer I didn't feel it. Others in Boise have. I think I was walking and didn't notice it.

@zebpalmer I can't believe I missed it. Maybe because I was running around our house like an idiot.

@IdahoLark @zebpalmer

rocked my building down by the river.

@wa7iut @zebpalmer Wow! I'm usually so sensitive to quakes. I could even feel tiny tremors in Fairbanks. Maybe I would have if I'd been sitting still. Kinda bummed because quakes are cool (when not raining down chunks of buildings or creating a tsunami).

@IdahoLark @zebpalmer

I'm on the 2nd floor of a wood frame building by the river. I was sitting still staring at my computer (in disbelief) when it hit. I imagine if I'd been walking around, I wouldn't have noticed it.

@wa7iut @IdahoLark @zebpalmer Definitely felt it while sitting down, on the first floor of a house in the western North End.

Heard some stuff in the kitchen rattling, but I'm not sure I'd have thought it was much more than a very big truck driving by if I'd be walking around.

@wa7iut @IdahoLark @zebpalmer And Zeb's image definitely reinforces how we felt it—it was a quick jolt and started to fade away, then got much more distinct and obviously a quake after a few more seconds.

@zebpalmer Felt it pretty good on the 2nd floor here.
