BREAKING NEWS Dozen earthquakes rock US town sitting on top of a 'sleeping giant' fault
A small town in Idaho has experienced 12 earthquakes in the last 24 hours. The US Geological Survey (USGS) detected the seismic activity near Stanley, a town that played a key role in the gold rush during the late 1860s and 1870s. The first earthquake struck at 4:33pm ET on Sunday, with the most recent recorded at 2:17om today, ranging in magnitude from 2.5 to 3.4. According to Michigan Tech University, quakes between 2.5 and 5.4 are typically felt by people and may cause minor damage. No damage has been reported from this swarm. Stanley sits near the Sawtooth Fault, a 40-mile-long fault line running through central Idaho. While geologically ancient, the Sawtooth Fault was only clearly identified in 2010. It drew national attention after a magnitude 6.5 earthquake in 2020, one of the largest in Idaho in recent history, which was felt across several states. Scientists estimate the fault could produce magnitude 7.0 or greater earthquakes, strong enough to cause serious shaking and damage hundreds of miles away. Experts have called the Sawtooth Fault a 'sleeping giant' as it is dormant for long periods but capable of triggering a devastating earthquake when it awakens. This is a developing story...

3.2 quake jolts Northern California, USGS says. ‘Little shake, rattle, and roll'
A 3.2-magnitude earthquake shook the Northern California area, the U.S. Geological Survey reported. The more than 9-mile deep quake hit a little over half a mile south of Concord at 12:11 p.m. on Friday, May 30, according to the USGS. Nearly 1,000 people from as far away as Mountain View and San Jose reported feeling the tremor to the agency. 'A little shake, rattle, and roll with your lunch,' the city of Pleasant Hill, about 5 miles away from the quake, wrote in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter. 'Well that ruined my lunch nap,' another X user wrote. Concord is about a 30-mile drive northeast from San Francisco. What to know about earthquakes Magnitude measures the energy released at the source of the earthquake, the U.S. Geological Survey says. It replaces the old Richter scale. Quakes between 2.5 and 5.4 magnitude are often felt but rarely cause much damage, according to Michigan Tech. Quakes below 2.5 magnitude are seldom felt by most people. Earthquakes' sudden, rapid shaking can cause fires, tsunamis, landslides or avalanches. They can happen anywhere, but they're most common in Alaska, California, Hawaii, Oregon, Puerto Rico and Washington, according to the Department of Homeland Security. If an earthquake strikes, it's best to protect yourself right away. Here are tips from experts: If you're in a car: Pull over and stop. Set your parking brake. If you're in bed: Turn face-down and cover your head with a pillow. If you're outdoors: Stay away from buildings. Don't go inside. If you're inside: Stay and don't run outdoors. Stay away from doorways. The best way to protect yourself during an earthquake is to drop, cover and hold on, officials say. 'Wherever you are, drop down to your hands and knees and hold onto something sturdy,' officials say. 'If you're using a wheelchair or walker with a seat, make sure your wheels are locked and remain seated until the shaking stops.' Be sure to cover your head and neck with your arms, and crawl under a sturdy table if possible. If no shelter is available, crawl to an interior wall away from windows. Once under a table, officials say you should hold on with one hand and be ready to move with it. 'There can be serious hazards after an earthquake, such as damage to the building, leaking gas and water lines, or downed power lines,' officials say. 'Expect aftershocks to follow the main shock of an earthquake. Be ready to Drop, Cover, and Hold On if you feel an aftershock.'
