So, I was sitting at my work desk today and I thought my table was moving at about 1Hz. I looked around at the pictures on the wall and a cordless phone standing on it's end on my desk and at the monitors and could not find any hint of movement. But I was sure I was feeling about 10-15 pulses. I was wondering if I had vertigo or some other physical event.
I asked my wife if she felt it. Nope.
We mentioned it to the kids and sure enough, they felt it. We were all pretty excited since this was the first family quake in Canada....
My doctor friend texted and said she felt it in Salmon, ID. It was over 6.0 and north of Boise.
The distance from Cardston is substantial. Many people reported feeling it all over the Inland NW.
Folks, that was amazing that this could produce that kind of energy for such a small quake.
When the big one hits, we will all be floored. All of the faults will let loose simultaneously when the keyway lets go.
Here is Elenyi. A nice little group to fall asleep to:

Enjoy!
BTW, the stunning scenery was filmed a few miles north of where the Magna, UT EQ epicenter was in the shallows of the GSL.
