Earthquake

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

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

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.

I was banging the hot young stripper wife and just hollered don't stop now babe... I'm almost there!

Yeah, I welcome a change in the news cycle.

The trumpet on the Angel Moroni got knocked off on the Salt Lake Temple.

^^^ 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:

Inquiring minds want to know: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 more than once using the bathroom while watching the water slosh back and forth in the toilet bowl.

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.

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.
