Idaho’s 6.5 magnitude earthquake felt in Calgary, 1000 miles away
2020: Expect the unexpected. The last few weeks have been wild, guys. Some of you are isolated and afraid, others now worship a man with a temper and an impressive collection of tassel jackets, but a few of you… Well, you just experienced your first earthquake.
If we’re being totally transparent with you guys, we predicted the emergence of a Joe Exotic fan club and we’re pretty used to living in quarantine already. The one thing we didn’t see coming, was the 6.5 magnitude earthquake under Idaho that was felt in Calgary.

My apartment (on 17th floor of my building) felt really wobbly for a few seconds there. Was there an earthquake? Does Calgary get earthquakes? #yyc #earthquake #calgary

Felt an earthquake in Calgary – the tremors of what was apparently a quake in Idaho? That was fun! #yyc #earthquake — Dave (@hanlon99bosox) April 1, 2020
Full disclosure, we didn’t actually feel anything. That being said, many people who did, took to social media saying that they indeed were shooketh. The quake reportedly lasted about 20 to 30 seconds and was the second strongest to ever hit Idaho. That’s insane.

The last time Calgarians felt an earthquake was back in 2017 when a 5.8 hit Montanna overnight. We didn’t feel that one either.
Luckily yesterday, no damage was reported in either city and it will not likely have any lasting effect on our infrastructure. Wow, what a crazy world we live in.
