Wow

5.7 is a BIG EARTHQUAKE

Thanks for this info, I was wondering! Couldn't tell from that relatively low-sounding number whether it was just a little baby earthquake or what...

Dang, that earthquake in SLC looks bad. Power out, coronavirus hotline now out of service. Online school cancelled. Several large aftershocks.

Oh no! Worst case scenario. Now I understand why some people have been stocking up with water.

Oh, no! ((Salt Lake City))

I'm sure Tricia will cover this on her youtube channel tonight, provided that she can. ??

Deep breath, pull together, not apart (well, pull "socially distant" together).

Wow, this is serious.

Does the area normally get earthquakes? Sorry, I don't know that info, so please share if you do know.
