A 5.8 magnitude earthquake in Montana caused everyone to freak out about the Yellowstone supervolcano
The residents of Lincoln and Helena, Montana, were awakened just past midnight when a 5.8 magnitude earthquake struck just six miles southeast of the former.
According to the Associated Press, people as far away as Bozeman and Great Falls, Montana, as well as parts of Idaho also felt latent tremors from the occurrence early Thursday morning. Neither the AP nor the local Independent Recordreported any major injuries or damage, though Helana suffered a gas leak and Lincoln briefly lost power.
Both news outlets spoke with locals about the earthquake to gauge their reactions, but the presence of musician and part-time Montana resident John Mayer helped get the item trending on social media.
