Stanley, Idaho, has experienced an unusual seismic event with 12 earthquakes detected in the last 24 hours, ranging in magnitude from 2.5 to 3.4. Although these quakes are likely to be felt by residents, no damage has been reported. The area is near the Sawtooth Fault, a significant geological feature that scientists describe as a 'sleeping giant', indicating it could produce much stronger earthquakes in the future, potentially causing severe damage if it awakens. This fault has garnered attention since a major earthquake in 2020.
Scientists identify the Sawtooth Fault as a 'sleeping giant' capable of producing significant seismic events, including potential magnitude 7.0 earthquakes that could cause widespread destruction.
Stanley has experienced 12 earthquakes in 24 hours, with magnitudes between 2.5 and 3.4, indicating significant seismic activity without any reported damage thus far.
