Earthquake

This morning I felt a shuddering and heard a sound that I tried to identify but very quickly realized was earthquake.  Since I was browsing Facebook at the time I quickly got a notification that my daughter Tricia had posted about an earthquake.  It took place about equal distance between her home in Bountiful and mine in Provo, but I am on the hillside and she is on the flat.  The seismic waves traveled through the flatlands easily.  My daughter, Mary, in West Jordan was quite a bit closer to the epicenter.  She felt the earthquake which was a fairly mild 5.7, although the strongest felt in more than 20 years in Utah.  It was followed by many smaller aftershocks.  I felt the 4.8 after shock that came about 5 hours after the initial shock.  I prepared my car as a bug out vehicle after heeding a post from someone who claimed that a stronger quake was anticipated.  I lifted two 50 lb. sacks of chicken feed out of my car and stored them in the storage bench where I keep straw.  I used a dolly for most of the way, but I had to lift the sacks into the bench.  This winded me.  I put down the wider back seat and installed some cushions I prepared for traveling east more than a year ago.  Mostly I kept up with news of plague and earthquake on my electronic devices.  I am grateful that for now I have what I need to 'shelter in place'.
