00:00Northeast Oregon just felt its strongest earthquake in more than 30 years.
00:04The magnitude 4.3 quake struck at 11.43 Monday night in Wallowa County.
00:09Its epicenter was about 12 miles southeast of the town of Joseph.
00:13It started roughly 7.5 miles underground.
00:16The quake hit along the Wallowa Fault, at the base of the towering Wallowa Mountains.
00:21That fault runs for at least 31 miles.
00:23The last quake this strong in the region was a magnitude 4.0 back in 1994.
00:28The U.S. Geological Survey received 98 reports from people who felt it.
00:34Those came from towns like Enterprise, Joseph, LeGrand, and Halfway.
00:39Shaking was weak to light, with no damage.
00:41The quake was just below the 4.5 threshold for cell phone shake alert warnings.
00:46Some residents slept right through it.
00:48One thought a herd of elk had wandered through the yard.
00:51This time, the mountains simply rumbled and settled.
