Different fault. Challis had one decades ago, also felt in Boise. I was here for that one. This was bigger. 

We may have a 13er now.

Holy cow!  SLC 2 weeks ago, now Idaho - the earth is on the move! You OK Helen?

Fine here. The cracks from the one in 1983 are recracked. 

But? Some tiny towns here undoubtedly took a bad hit. 6.5, west of Challis, which was hard hit in 1983. About halfway between Challis and Cascade, if you have a map to look at.

Aftershocks, too, two felt here.

Just FYI, Blaine county Idaho (Sun Valley, Ketchum) is the hotspot for covid. They so did not need this. A lot of the cases are healthcare workers, too.

Was felt in SLC.

Everybody, get on the floor, let's dance
Don't fight the feeling, give yourself a chance
Shake shake shake, shake shake shake
Shake your booty, shake your booty
Oh, shake shake shake, shake shake shake
Shake your booty, shake your booty

From a Californian: harden up, Idaho.

Edit: The above statement only applies if no one was hurt or suffered major losses.

First SLC, now Boise. My theory is that the Bay Area tech flight must be bringing some of their earth-shaking economic activity with them. Get ready Denver & Austin! You're next!   SeaTac/PDX, Mt. Rainier & Juan de Fuca have already got ya covered, you've just gotta wait a little longer...

Yes, 6 quakes so far. Given the size many more to come. https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/map/ I've found this to be the best site. Using menu you can look back 30 days and more. You also can change map and zoom in.
  Hope no one hurt and really pray no medical facilities damaged. I'd take some rock and roll over this virus!
  Wait a dog gone minute! I should be careful what I say. If we have a major earthquake now it would be a disaster never seen before. thousands of first responders going out to be exposed ..............Wow I can't imagine how bad that would be.
  Lets count our blessings, as I Learned in 14 years in the Army; It can always be worse!
 Good luck, hope house is alright

It's true I've seen it.
