JUST A LITTLE...EARTHQUAKE

It was about 1 a.m. and I had just turned in to go to bed.  About 5 minutes later my bed started to shake and then I heard all my glasses and things downstairs rattle and shake.  It lasted for probably only a matter of seconds.  But felt more like a couple of minutes.  I had felt a little earthquake once before in California a long time ago and can still remember the feeling.  This time it was little stronger.  I ain't gonna lie...I was kind of freaked out.  My neighbors started waking up and making noises...I just couldn't sleep after that.  So I decided to look it up and found the University of Utah's site for tracking earthquakes. (The University of Utah's Seismograph Stations.)  And there it was, listed as the most recent earthquake at a magnitude of 2.9 at 1:08 a.m. right here by Lehi.  It doesn't get any closer than that.  Now I know it was only a 2.9, but after that, I don't ever want to know what a higher magnitude earthquake feels like.

I've decided I'm a hurricane girl and not an earthquake girl.

I took these 'snapshots' off the U of U's site:

That red square right above is 'my' earthquake.  Pretty much right where it says, Lehi.  (Oh, and those brown lines are not roads, but instead fault lines...the roads are the white lines.)

Here's a closer look...

If anybody likes to 'read' about the details of earthquakes, here ya go...
