I woke up this morning early, around 5AM. I slept poorly last night.
I started working and at around 7AM, a 5.7 magnitude earthquake happened.
I've experienced earthquakes, but never like this one. The whole complex was shaking violently and it lasted for about 20 seconds.
I was with my mom and we experienced it together.
I was very scared for my life.
Something about it being really early in the morning (still dark) and with the whole COVID-19 lockdown, the whole thing just felt so eerie.
And the aftershocks were really bad - all day - the floor was shaking and rumbling and there were a reported 50+ aftershocks, with a few that were 4+ on the Richter scale.
This was the biggest earthquake to hit Utah since 1992. The epicenter was about 12 miles away from my apartment.
This morning, I felt like I was starting to get more "used to" the coronavirus situation - and was excited to get a big start on the day - then this happened.
I hope tomorrow will be fresh.
