Did you Feel the Earth Move?

By Carol Bondy

​Last week via Email and Facebook Readers reported feeling tremors.  The tremors were felt over the previous week.  On 7/7 a stronger tremor was reported a little after 8PM.

The tremors were along 554, on Blue Earth Trail, along 142, 155 and 156.

Some of the comments
"Yes I’ve felt them all. Someone suggested that they may be sonic booms?
Last week I felt two in the middle of the night. They felt like they were coming from underground."

Yes! I felt it just after 8pm last night (Sunday). Off 554 on 142.

I felt two, up on 156 by plaza blanca.   One was 11:08 pm

felt a big quick jolt a couple weeks ago here on 155, my closest neighbor felt it too.

Yes, we felt all of these off 554

We contacted our resident Geologist, Kirt Kempter.  He had not heard of any.  USGS did not report any on their website.  USGS reported quakes that are 2.5 on the Richter scale.   Lesser tremors can be reported and they will track.   

We also contacted Bureau of Reclamation to see if there was a chance these could be related to the work being done in the riverbed.  The answer was no.

So if you felt a quake you or feel one in the future you might want to report it.
