A 4.0 magnitude earthquake shook southeastern Idaho on Friday, the University of Utah Earthquake Center said. The light quake occurred at 11:06 a.m. local time, said Walter Arabasz, director of the university's seismograph stations. The epicenter was 11 miles west-southwest of Georgetown and 15 miles south of Soda Springs. People reported feeling the quake in the Idaho towns of Grace, Lava Hot Springs, Downey, Soda Springs, Bancroft and Pocatello, he said. A magnitude 4.3 earthquake occurred in the same area June 30. Since 1962, 30 quakes of magnitude 3.0 or larger have occurred within 15 miles of Friday's quake. http://www.sltrib.com/utah/ci_4055706 http://www.heraldextra.com/content/view/186347/
