Anyone else feel that earthquake about an hour ago?

+/- 6.5 and centered +/-70km west of Challis, Idaho. I was in my car at a stop sign and thought someone was rocking my car or I had suddenly lost air in a tire. Odd. The woman crossing the road in front of me was walking very slowly like she had high heels on. I didn't think any more of it until I picked my wife up from work and she said everyone at her hospital was freaking out.

On edit: some 70 miles northeast of Boise

I was taking a bath and the whole tub shook. Challis just had a 4.8 aftershock 27 minutes ago.

than it was. So I hollered at my kiddo in the next room “Owen! Did you feel that?” He said “no, I heard it and thought it was a woodpecker”. Heck of a woodpecker...

The epicenter is not that far from that 6.9 biggie near Mackay, Idaho in 1983. That was something.
