Earthquake

I felt my first earthquake last night, at 1:08 am on Tuesday morning. Eric had got up to go to the bathroom and I was lying in bed. At first I thought that Eric was shaking the bed, but when I looked over he was trying to keep his balance, it woke Jaxon up to. Eric and I then realized that we had just experienced an earthquake. I said to Eric get Jaxon and stand in the doorway. It raddled our house quite a bit and some lose things fell. I was frightened at the time, but I think it is really cool now. I called KSL news to report it and it made me feel better to find out that many people were calling to report it. I knew then we weren’t crazy, there really was an earthquake.
Seismologists at the University of Utah say the 2.9 magnitude quake was centered 4 miles northwest of Saratoga Springs. I live half a mile from Saratoga Springs. So it was close to our house the origin point. There has been three earthquakes within the last month in Utah.
