Thanks y'all. No damage to speak of, just stuff tipping over, falling off shelves, etc. Some minor broken-ware. Power was out to 32k residents for most of the day. I've been running around the neighborhood helping the widows and elderly clean up and get back in order, so I think I've seen most of it. There are neighborhoods harder hit than mine, but very few were damaged extensively. We build for "the big one" around here. We don't get many quakes, but we're all aware we live on an ancient fault line.
Perhaps the most significant damage from this: the golden angel atop the iconic mormon temple in downtown salt lake city lost his trumpet. That's the trumpet that's supposed to sound "the second coming"... . So.... that all feels a little apocalyptic, hahahaha.
Piper, I was actually sitting ON THE CAN when it started. So you're reaction would've been fine. Hehe
I was headed outside to smack down whoever just drove their truck into my house.
Seriously though, my first reaction was that the giant gang-banger who I pissed off 10 days ago was back for his revenge that he told me was coming. But that's a whole DIFFERENT story......
