The seismic events were felt by many people in the Gallatin Valley including Belgrade and Bozeman.

I must confess that I am a volcano nerd. I've been fascinated with them dating back to the Mt St. Helens eruption in 1980. My fascination with this part of geology led me to ask the question what would it really take to make the Yellowstone supervolcano erupt? This is what I found.

It's been a couple of very busy days, seismically, in Idaho with over a dozen small earthquakes occurring around the town of Cascade.

Yup, you probably felt the rolling shortly before 6pm on Tuesday night. A 6.5 earthquake shook through Idaho and was felt in many areas of southwest Montana.

The seismic events were felt by many people in the Gallatin Valley including Belgrade and Bozeman.

According to the USGS, the Monday evening quake was centered near Manhattan, Montana, at a depth of just over 3.1 miles below the surface.

Over the weekend, Manhattan, Mont. experienced quite a bit of seismic activity.

Is all of this activity in the region part of a normal cycle or is something else brewing under the surface?

Early Wednesday morning the Gallatin Valley experienced an earthquake. Did you feel it?

That initial quake was followed by an aftershock registering 3.2 on the Richter Scale.
