Earthquake

[accadacca]

Pretty good shake at my house in South Jordan, Utah. Woke me up.

3.3 at 5:02am

3.8 at 5:09am

Epicenter in Bluffdale, UT

[double moo]

My dog work me up just before the first tremor. I got him settled down and he laid on the bed beside me. He bolted upright just a few seconds before the second round. Very cool!

[Iceaxe]

My dog (blue tick hound) was also the one that alerted me to the earthquakes, he ran to the huge window in the front of the house and began to howl.

[accadacca]

I haven’t felt that many quakes, so it was kind of interesting. I felt both of them and the distant noise of the earth creaking was kind of creepy.

[Scott Card]

I was in the Big Bear, Landers, North Ridge and Coalinga earthquakes in California, to name the bigger ones. I lived about 9 miles from the epicenter of the North Ridge quake that registered 6.7. That one was big enough for me. It pretty well shook us out of bed. The aftershocks (many, many of which were bigger than any of the recent quakes in Utah) went on for weeks. I remember more than once using the bathroom while watching the water slosh back and forth in the toilet bowl.

The comments section is hilarious. "Is this normal?" Somebody claimed it wasn't on the Wasatch Fault since it was in Bluffdale.:facepalm1::lol8:

[BruteForce]

I was living in California before, during and after the Loma Prieta Quake.. so felt nothing in SoJo during this last one - especially in comparison to that monster.

Here we go again California...

My daughter lives in LA. She posted a video of herself sitting under her kitchen table during the earthquake. She lives far enough away that it wasn't severe but, she said it made her a bit queasy. Maybe it scared her enough that she'll want to move back to Utah, haha!

Freeze frame the video at 56 seconds. She went just a weeeee little bit outside of the lines. :lol8: That earthquake was actually quite short, only about 8 seconds. Having been in my share of earthquakes, that was just enough to get the heart pounding, like the girl's was.

Considering I'm a house painter...I can virtually guarantee you that picture she had on the wall was held up with a nail that wasn't much bigger than a needle.

Last big quake I felt was the Whittier quake in 1987. I lived in a condo just a few miles from the epicenter. My girlfriend and I were just getting ready to leave the place when it hit...I was upstairs and she was on the first floor by the TV. I said "HOLD ONTO THE ENTERTAINMENT CENTER!" ...because it was full of expensive stereo equipment. She left me for another dude a month later.

Jill Cohen was her name. Smokin' hot little Jewish gal. She said to me once "Byron, you're the kind of guy a girl dates, not the kind of guy a girl marries"...although I think that was her mother talking. Her mom never approved of me because I'm not Jewish. Funny thing...I never did marry, maybe she was right after all.

The guy she left me for...his name was Jamie Jamieson. A Jewish guy. They married, had two kids and then divorced.

Yep, just enough to hold it up if nobody bumps it, and it makes a teenie tiny weenie hole in the wall so nobody will notice. I had to teach my wife the value of properly mounting up the "Live Laugh Love" sign, sometimes it means putting a small screw hole in the wall.

[ddavis]

I'm kind of surprised you guys didn't notice what is right next to Ridgecrest, where the epicenter was.

Wow, that was a pretty good shake here in Utah.

Magnitude 5.7 earthquake
3 miles from Magna, UT · 7:09 AM

[devo_stevo]

I was sitting at my computer to start my day and the whole building started moving, which was really scary, because this place is not ready for an earthquake. Makes me want to not work in here anymore.

Cool interactive map from the USGS.

I was laying in bed and felt my house rocking back and forth on the foundations.

^^^ Is this a good sign or bad sign for the end of times? Without his trumpet, can he not signal in the millennium, so it’s going to be awhile? Or did he just signal it in, and doesn’t need it anymore? :ne_nau:

Having been born and raised in So. Cal., the 80s and early 90s saw a lot of quake activity when I was a kid. Was hella exciting at that age. Welcome to the quake survivors' club!

My Utah flag this morning. We will rebuild...

^^^^^devastating--I had no idea it was this bad...

It's easy to witness this from afar but when the damage like this is shown---breathtaking.

Has anyone started a gofundme?

i remember you mentioning it before. i had a friend who's mother lived right at the epicenter of the northridge quake. i happened to be at their house for dinner the month before the northridge earthquake. we had dinner sitting at a thick heavy marble-like table in their dining room that took 15 burly guys to bring in ... she told me after that quake it was flipped on its top.

i had a friend who's mother lived right at the epicenter of the northridge quake. i happened to be at their house for dinner 3 months before the northridge earthquake.

On the bright side my engineering company made literally millions off the Northridge quake in repairs and retrofitting buildings to the updated earthquake codes that resulted :-)

Lots of big and small construction companies prospered from that quake.

It was that violent. If I understand the Richter scale correctly, the Northridge quake was more than ten times stronger than the one this morning. I agree with the news, this was just a wake up call to retrofit and gain some knowledge about earthquakes and how to prepare.

indeed (though a variant on the richter scale is now used for magnitude) but also the intensity (roman numeral) which is illustrated in shakemaps (which map out the intensity and ground motion on the surface across different locations in space) measure more of what a person experiences at a particular location (which could be further enhanced by how the structure they're in vibrates in response to the earthquake). i've noticed that two earthquakes with the same magnitude could result in different intensities in the impacted area.

I just got back from the local lawn mower repair shop down the street. I'm grilling up some marinated chicken tonight and my propane tank was bone dry. The lady in there told me it was nuts yesterday. People were coming over with 3-5 bottles each to get filled up. It's a smaller tank that they have and she used half of the 250 gallons. She also sold 5 Honda generators in 45 minutes. I said well that's great for business during this slow time until spring hits and it gets a few more people prepared with generators. Lol

[Scott Card]

I woke up during the earthquake and looked over at my sleeping wife and decided to let her sleep. She later woke up and looked at the news on her phone. She blurted out, "we had an earthquake!" I said, I know, I felt it. Then I started to sing, "It's the end of of the world as we know it". My wife said I wasn't funny. I'm still working on my timing.

Yeah, Challis/Stanley. I love that area and highway 93.

[Scott Card]

6.5? Now that will rattle your teeth! Hope everyone is okay.

Tuesday night we have a 4.2 and then this morning we have another 4.2. Anybody else feel it?

Who has earthquake insurance?

[devo_stevo]

I felt that one in Brigham. https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/uu60378837/executive
