Quake shakes Idaho, mistakenly reported near Oregon border

Editor’s Note: An earlier version of this story stated three earthquakes hit near the Oregon-Idaho border. The Pacific Northwest Seismic Network later issued a correction that it was only one quake in Idaho.

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — A 4.4 magnitude earthquake hit in western Idaho early Thursday morning.

No reports of damage were recorded.

The Pacific Northwest Seismic Network erroneously sent out two tweets indicating there were two more quakes after the initial one, near the Idaho-Oregon border, but later corrected that information.

This morning, an M4.4 aftershock in Idaho was detected by our system and misidentified as an M4.9 in Oregon. We quickly reviewed and cancelled this, but erroneously sent out two tweets. We apologize for any resulting confusion and have removed the tweets.
