 No April fools joke - you can't make this stuff up!
Guess what happened in the vicinity of Shake Creek and Laidlow Creek in the Idaho mountains.
An earthquake!
The 6.5 temblor was near the geographic center of Idaho and was felt from Salt Lake City to the Canadian border. Fortunately that area is all mountainous landscape and there was very little damage and no injuries, even in Stanley, about 19 miles away. That's the 2nd strongest quake to hit Idaho in recorded history. The largest was the Borah 6.9 quake in 1983.

Isn't it on the edge of the Yellowstone caldera?

Idaho,
Don't you have a seismic graph for that earthquake, showing the start and stop points? Just kidding. Glad there were no injuries.

Something like around 200 miles and at least two major fault lines west of Yellowstone.

One sad aspect of this is that the seismometer that is probably the closest to the quake and which would have given a great recording, was turned off due to Covid. It's at Boise State University which has been shut down and for whatever reason the profs in the geology department decided to shut the seismometer off since they weren't going to be around. I guess maybe it needs regular attention and didn't fit the Governor's definition of "essential services".

My daughter lives in Paris, ID (Bear Lake area in the SE Corner). She says that some of her neighbors felt it but she didn't. She has a 3 1/2 year old boy so she might have thought it was him

More than 1 shaker in your general area recently. SLC had 1 a few weeks ago. My boy lives in Logan, UT and said he could feel it. I'm surprised he didn't mention the ID quake but maybe he will in his next phone call. (I live in NC so phone calls and texts are all we get.)
