I love earthquakes, the two largest I've experienced were 6.9 and 6.7; awe inspiring. A good place to encounter them is on Adak island; pretty much nearly a daily occurrence, with noticeable felt earthquakes every week or two.

Not many quakes in Idaho James. Just mass murders! Ha, we've had several quakes here the past couple of years. Still having aftershocks of the last big shake in 2020. With the price of ammunition nowadays the killers have resorted to using knives.

Yeah I don't know that 7.0 a few years back was close...and violent. No desire to try a 7.1

The worst I experienced was when I lived on the big Island of Hawaii. Often quakes are felt there , as that whole shelf is in constant movement , a lot like the Aleutians, and in particular, Adak and the Sandpoint shelf off the beginning of that chain.
One of them, was so strong the house I was in seemed to begin to break timbers, and I hastened outside to ride it out. That was a 6 something scale, close to 7. The condos next door , made of concrete and not wood, had long fissures from bottom to top along the sides after that. The next biggest was when I was in a tent in Volcanoes Natl. Park. The ground was almost liquid and the trees swayed , though the air was still. That one I actually liked, and marveled in the sounds and power of the earth , in full focus , not distracted in something falling on me.
There have been several since I lived in the Rockies , but none such as those in HI. One I heard, late at night in summer , my window open. I thought it was a roll of thunder at first, but the pitch and echo was wrong. I didn't think of a quake right then, as it was only the sound I heard, with not a vibration felt. The rumble continued for a bit, then stopped abruptly. All was completely still , until it stopped the noise. Then I felt a fast, quick jolt. That was it. There was no echo after it quit, as thunder is. Then I realized what it was. The morning news confirmed it, with origins in the range along the big lake in N. Idaho . Amazing that rumble was heard all the way into Montana , ending with that soft jolt as soon as the sound stopped. Like the slight jerk of a truck coming to halt.
I remember seeing photos and reading of some experiences of AK folks during the big one of the 60's. Wish there were on the spot videos of that event . Would have been something to see.

Must have been terrifying. Many who were there thought the world was coming to an end. Thing lasted almost 5 minutes...

You mean there are earthquakes down in Idaho? I thought we'd be getting away from them by moving there.
