The two largest aftershocks reached 4.6 on the moment magnitude scale, occurring at at 8:02 am and 1:12 pm on Wednesday, March 18. There were a further 33 earthquakes of a magnitude 3 or higher.
Geologists have been quick to assure residents there is no link between this recent seismic activity and Yellowstone, which lies approximately 300 miles east of Boise. "Some strong earthquakes in the region, like the 1983 M6.9 Borah Peak, ID, and 1959 M7.3 Hebgen Lake, MT, earthquakes, have impacted geyser behavior, but that is due to the response of the shallow and fragile geyser conduits to shaking," said USGS.
