We had two earthquakes today - a 6.2 near Wells NV - 150 West of SLC. Then about 15 mins later, a 4.0 near Cedar City.

In Sandy, we felt the first one! Anybody else feel it?

The building here swayed pretty good. USGS just revised the one In Heber as part of the earthquake in Wells Nevada. The new numbers in Wells are 6.0. I suppose Wendover really felt it.

Here it felt like rolling, building swaying about 1-2 feet. I suppose it has a lot to do with the geology your building is on. Here in Sandy, we are on a big rock pile!

My sister lives in Sandy and said she didn't feel a thing. Her husband was at the U and he said the same thing, nothing. I guess it depends where you were.
