Epicenter in Bluffdale, UT
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!
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.
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.
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:
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...

God hates California :-)
And their biggest problem is plastic straws and the sea level coming up an inch every 15 years?
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.
:haha:

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.
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
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 thought it was a pleasant break from the Coronavirus updates
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:
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.
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.
