interesting, I typed in slc earthquake today and earthquake.usgs.gov said a 3.5 but I scrolled farther down and sure enough all the news outlets are saying 5.7. Guess the gov't is too busy with covid-19 than updating their earthquake website lol.
Epicenter is where the squiggly line is. I was where the purple dot is when it hit. My old house is the red dot, new house where the blue dot is. I had driven right past that epicenter an hour before.
I've been through a couple of noticeable earthquakes when I was going in and out of Adak and Shemya (Shim-me-a) in the Aleutians. Nothing to the extent you experienced White but what a weird feeling. I was told they measure around 100 earthquakes a day but most are never felt. Best I can compare what I felt to was like being in a building next right next to a fast moving train except there's no noise. After my first one I asked, "What the hell was that?", and after being told a Wave that was smiling said, "I enjoy them." That's what I remember the most. lol
