Moonbeast32 Posted March 18, 2020 Report Posted March 18, 2020 5.7 the reports are saying. I don't know how many of you live in SLC county, are you doing all right? It was enough to rattle all my bookshelves all the way down here in Orem. Quote
Just_A_Guy Posted March 18, 2020 Report Posted March 18, 2020 I felt it in Lehi and my sister felt it up by Tooele. Quote
JohnsonJones Posted March 18, 2020 Report Posted March 18, 2020 I just looked up the news. It appears that there have been several aftershocks, several thousand don't have power, and several buildings have cracks or have been damaged. Luckily from what I read on the news no deaths have been reported related to it. The Angel Moroni also supposedly dropped his trumpet/horn. No idea if there was more damage to Temple Square or not (they should hurry up and earthquake proof it, probably should have done it sooner than later if this quake indicates anything). Trains and such are not running and students who were to pick up homework and other items from schools were told not to come in several locations. Airport is also closed and evacuated. Not sure what that means in regards to damage at the airport. It's a developing story is the only other thing I've found. Quote

Apparently it is closed for "water damage". I would presume that this means a water main or some pipes were broken. Quote

The Traveler If so that could be really bad. Most people in Utah don't have earthquake insurance and normal house insurance won't cover it. Quote

mirkwood Posted March 18, 2020 Report Posted March 18, 2020 Epicenter was 4-6 miles from my house. I was at work (and still am), so as far as I know the only damage is a jar of salsa and a container of protein powder. JohnsonJones and NeuroTypical 2 Quote
SilentOne Posted March 18, 2020 Report Posted March 18, 2020 Doing fine here. I think a couple picture frames broke. The power was out at work until right after they called it a day and told everyone to go home - I had just stepped out the door when the lights and alarm came on/went off. JohnsonJones 1 Quote
