... Isn't this very very unusual?

Well, this was a fun one. The last one we felt was I guess about 4 years ago and it felt much different. It shook at a faster frequency.

This one felt like being in a boat--slow rocking from side to side. My hanging lamps swung back and forth, east/west. Nothing fell off the shelves.

Yes, this is quite unusual for our area. I've lived most of my life in the Pacific Northwest and this is the second earthquake that I have experienced. I'm about fifty miles north of Coeur d'Alene.

"According to USGS, a second 4.8 earthquake struck east of the original 6.5 earthquake epicenter at 5:27 p.m." (https://www.khq.com/news/6-4-earthquake-rocks-southern-idaho/article_5bd98462-73ac-11ea-9765-cf62ddc8fc5c.html)

I didn't feel this aftershock.

4.8 just south of Challis, likely aftershock

"Paul Bodin with the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network said the last earthquake of a similar size in Idaho shook in Borah Peak in 1983. (https://www.krem.com/article/weather/65-magnitude-earthquake-rattles-the-northwest/293-2286642b-c3c1-4748-b842-707f6b9469df)"
