Montana earthquake: 5.8 magnitude quake strongest in 20 years
« on: July 06, 2017, 03:07:11 pm »
A magnitude 5.8 earthquake that rocked western Montana early Thursday morning was the largest quake to hit the area in the past 20 year, the U.S. Geological Survey said.

USGS geophysicist Robert Sanders told the Los Angeles Times that the quake of this magnitude was a “very rare event” but not “impossible.”

The earthquake struck around 12:30 a.m. local time with the epicenter located in Lincoln, which is outside Missoula. Some Twitter users posted feeling tremors as far as Spokane, Wash., Boise, Idaho and Calgary, Canada. The quake was followed by aftershocks in the magnitude 3 and 4 range over the next hour, Sanders said.

Residents in Lincoln briefly lost power and there was a gas leak in Helena, the National Weather Service in Great Falls said on Twitter.

There have been no immediate reports of damage or injuries, but residents will get a better sense as day breaks.

The Independent Record reported the tremblor was strong enough to knock items off shelves and walls in homes in Helena, which is about 34 miles away from the epicenter.

We had a guy over at one of my old haunts that was absolutely dead certain that by now Yellowstone would have blown by now and wiped out 3/4's of the U.S.

He was the epitome of tinfoil hat where this was concerned.

Oh wow...never known one that combined the two.  Knew an Army Air Traffic Controller once that was convinced the CIA was spreading chem trails all over Europe.

Mary Greeley can tell you what is happening in and around Yellowstone. @Joe Wooten  @txradioguy

Youtube channel. Mary Greeley News. She does updates on activity in and around the park. I look at her channel once in a while. Like after this quake. She has the local seismograph readings from area stations and other things.

Montana geology creates unusual earthquake risk that isn't fully understood

The earthquake south of Lincoln that shook people from Spokane to Billings occurred along a fault not previously mapped by seismologists, which is not surprising in a region less studied than the seismically active West Coast.

“We know many faults around here from their signature on the landscape or because they have had little or big earthquakes on them, but there are very likely many more we don’t know about because they’ve been quiet like this one,” said Rebecca Bendick, an associate professor at the University of Montana who studies earthquakes, the formation of mountains and natural disasters worldwide.

“Going forward there will probably be a dashed line on fault maps somewhere near Lincoln.”

Montana’s quake risk is unique, although the exact causes of it remain in debate, said Mike Stickney, seismologist at the Earthquake Studies Office of the Montana Bureau of Mines and Geology on the Montana Tech campus in Butte.

“If you look globally, it is interesting and unusual to have a seismic belt such as we have form far from an active plate tectonic boundary,” he said.
