An earthquake struck near Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana, which oversees a large network of intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) silos spread across the state.
Another resident shared: 'Just had a big earthquake here in Montana.
The quake occurred near areas that house hardened missile silos and launch control facilities.
Military officials have not issued a statement about the earthquake or whether any damage has occurred to the silos.
Each missile is 60 feet in length and weighs almost 80,000 pounds, with a range of 8700 miles.
