Already on edge due to a deadly viral pandemic, Wood River Valley residents were further rattled early in the evening of March 31 by the second largest earthquake ever recorded in Idaho.
The U.S. Geological Survey pinpointed the 6.5 magnitude quake to a spot deep underground about 20 miles northwest of Stanley.
âPerceived shaking for the quake was very strong,â the USGS reported. âThe event was widely felt, with close to 16,000 âDid You Feel It?â reports thus far submitted, but [is] likely to have low impact.â
According to a USGS response map, the quake was felt as far north as southern British Columbia and Alberta, and as far west as western Washington and Oregon.

Last updated 12/23/2020 at 11:18am
The Chinook Police Department, Blaine County Sheriff’s Office and the Blaine County DUI Task Force are offering rides home for people who feel too intoxicated to drive safely. “If anyone is intoxicated and they don’t want to drive they can call and as long as there is an officer available they will be given a ride home,” Blaine County Sheriff John Colby said. Colby said this practice of offering rides to the intoxicated has been in place for more than a decade and is available any time of year, but it’s being advertised now because the holiday season tends to see more DUI relate.
