6.5 Earthquake Strikes in Idaho
Linda A. Bryson
Senior Managing Director/Assessment & Consulting Service Leader at CBRE
Tuesday evening, March 31, 2020, the largest earthquake since 1983, jolted residents across three states.
The quake was centered 73 miles northeast of Meridian, near Boise, according to the U.S. Geological Survey, and, for some, brought back memories of the state's worst such natural disaster, the 6.9 magnitude Borah Peak earthquake nearly four decades ago that killed two people and resulted in millions in damages, according to the Idaho Geological Survey.
There were no immediate reports of damage or injury. After-shocks were felt throughout the evening. People are on edge right now, thankfully this was not worse.
