A major 6.5 magnitude earthquake shook virtually the entire Gem State Tuesday evening, and aftershocks continued well into the evening.

The original quake happened just before 6 p.m. and originated about 45 miles west of Challis, and 20 miles northwest of Stanley, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

Stanley Mayor Steve Botti told the Idaho Statesman that as of 6:15 p.m. he had not seen any major damage in his town.

“Stuff was flying all over the place,” Botti told the newspaper. “I was upstairs and I tried to walk down the steps and I couldn’t because it was shaking too much.”

Residents from across the state reported feeling the quake.

Arco resident John Crane tells EastIdahoNews.com the shaking lasted for 20 to 30 seconds and described it as a rolling motion.
