This sit puts Idaho at sixth, but this is only for quakes over 3.5. But I said all of them here are small.

that dude doesn't know what they are talking about. You should start kicking people in the head for telling such lies.

Alaska probably has 15000+ earthquakes a year that go unnoticed. They don't even have seismometers in the Aleutian's. Even with small earthquakes Idaho isn't in the top 5. Obviously this is a good thing for most people.

Ok, while I know intellectually that Idaho is an earthquake prone state, I have to say, I've lived in Boise for almost 30 years and I remember actually feeling the ground moving ONCE. I was in Kindergarten at the time. (1983, the aforementioned Challis quake). Maybe I missed some earthquakes along the way, but that's a pretty good track record overall.
