Did you feel that earthquake?

Things may feel strange in Bonner County right now with pandemics and earthquakes, but inhabitants of the region have been overcoming hardships for a long time.  Now that I have developed my skills at searching the local newspaper archives, I can't help but share some history of earthquakes past.  This particular one was centered in Lombard, Montana, and gives you an idea of how earthquakes were viewed in the 1920's.

Take a look at some other reports from the Idaho Geological Survey of other major earthquakes in our history.  Did you feel the quake today?  Post your experience in the comments.  Let's collect your personal accounts, these will be primary sources for future historians!
