earthquake

Residents in Montana were rattled by an earthquake Monday morning. Did you feel it?

Back in August of 1959, an earthquake would cause a major landslide that would take the lives of dozens of people and forever chance the Montana landscape.

It was 5:44am on Tuesday morning when the magnitude 4.1 quake shook an area about 50 miles outside of Billings, MT. The quake struck just east of the Bull Mountains.

An earthquake was felt just before 6 p.m. Tuesday night in the Bozeman area. People on social media are posting that they felt the quake in Bozeman, Four Corners, Livingston, and Butte.

Monday night at 10:53 p.m., an earthquake was reported just west of Manhattan.

While seismic activity is common throughout much of Montana, Livingston generally doesn't see much activity.

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.
