A swarm of 40 quakes has been recorded in east-central Idaho this week.

But scientists are not sure if this series of tremors could lead to something bigger.

The largest Idaho earthquake occurred in 1983 at the exact same area than the recent quake swarm of December 2015… Signs for the next big one in the region?

Between Tuesday to Friday, about 40 micro-quakes have rattled east-central Idaho. Most have just gone unnoticed.

However, these shakings – up to M2.9 – have baffled scientists who try to understand the fault line that triggered a M5.0 earthquake back in January 2015.

Indeed they are not sure if these small tremors aren’t signs for a larger one. The largest recorded earthquake in Idaho – M6.9 quake that rattled the foot of Borah Peak in 1983 – hit exactly the same region.

Just in case… Get prepared.
