Thanks, Joe and Chrismo. No worries with this one, though. As I said, a bit of a yawner. I was fascinated to hear it, though. I've experienced only three of four quakes, and nothing big, at least where I was. On May 6, 1976 I was in La Scala opera house in Milano, Italy with my family when a large quake struck a couple of hundred miles east of Milano. It was a M6.4 quake that killed nearly 1000 people. It really shook the opera house, and knowing how Italians built things, I insisted that we leave immediately. La Scala is still there, of course.

The biggest earthquake I can remember happened one night when I was working at the Deseret News, whose offices were on Regent Street at the time. The newsroom was in the upper floor of the rather old building, and when the quake hit it swayed. I was walking across the floor and suddenly had the strangest sick feeling, as if I were losing my footing or my balance. It was the building's swaying but I didn't realize it at the time. Quite a creepy feeling.

As reported on KSL TV the epicenter was 18 miles east of Panguitch, putting it a few miles north of Tropic. At only M4.8 it was almost a yawner, but I did experience something that I've not experienced with earthquakes before - this time I heard the quake coming. It does indeed sound a bit like a freight train, but for me maybe more like a loud rush of wind. I heard it about five seconds before it began to rattle the house and also heard it throughout the shaking. Fortunately it was not large enough to hurt anyone or damage anything, at least not that I've heard of.
