Earthquakes can happy at any moment, and on Thursday, over 58,000 Idahoans teamed up for an earthquake drill. Are you prepared for when the earth starts dancin?
The quakes epicenter was in central Idaho, about 11 miles northwest of Stanley and was the area strongest earthquake this year. It reached us here in Boise about a quarter after 10pm, about the same time as the end of the Boise State football team's loss to Oklahoma State at Albertsons Stadium.
