The 5.8 magnitude earthquake happened just Southeast of Lincoln, Montana, which is about 500 miles from Boise. Citizens in Boise, Spokane, and Coeur d'Alene all reported feeling the effects of the overnight tremor.

The last time we experienced any type of significant earthquake here in Boise was two years ago. A 1.8 magnitude earthquake happened in Emmett, and previously before that a 1.7 magnitude tremor in Mountain Home.
