East or West?

I live in Logan, Utah, north of SLC. I felt the quake at 7:11 am. My apartment shook and my cats freaked out. But we didn't have any damages. Just a whole lotta shaking going on!

The signs of the times are here people. The bible speaks of this. MATTHEW 24:6,7,&8. WARS AND RUMOURS OF WARS, NATION SHALL RISE AGAINST NATION, KINGDOM AGAINST KINGDOM, FAMINES, PESTILENCES, AND EARTHQUAKES .ALL THESE ARE THE BEGINNING OF SORROWS.🗣 PrayForTheWorld 🙏

Manga is west of Salt Lake City. Get you facts strait or you look stupid.

Everything will be shaken that can be shaken

Are those mother frackers going to pay for the damage?

Its like the earth is hitting a massive reset. Air emissions cleaning up a bit b/c of COVID19 lockdown. But UTAH, no. That's where we all follow to the bunkers, guys. Stay Safe, UTAH.

Well heck. Our nerves are shot anyways. Let’s add an earthquake too.

Wondering if ratherbrunnin finished the run before...😱

Awful. It’s bad enough self-quarantining but being without power too...

This earthquake woke us up! Entire house shook for at least one minutes. Shifting and movement underneath and creaking was unreal. Lord help us!

Thank you USGS for that. I don't know how we would know if it wasn't for you. Now, exactly how much are we paying you to tell us it was a 5.7?

Even the earth itself is showing us it's sick of this administration....

Yeah... Magna is West. But whatever.

It's a sign.
