Earthquakes are uncommon in North Idaho so when the windows rattled and the house shook, it took a minute register what happened. I hadn't felt an earthquake since living in Anchorage, Alaska.
Within minutes, the USGS reported a magnitude 4.1 earthquake centered 22 km southeast of Sandpoint, Idaho in the vicinity of the Green Monarchs at 7:32 p.m.
To view the shake map (the intensity of where the earthquake was felt), go to http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/us200028q3#impact_shakemap
I'm excited to have felt an earthquake in North Idaho!
