I felt it in GJ. At first I thought a car or something hit the building I'm in and then I saw all my SLC friends posting about an earthquake on FB!

If I were standing up or at home, I probably wouldn't have noticed it...but the building I'm in did shake a little.

Very much so. We're making preparations and my truck and camper are strategically parked out front in case it becomes needed. So when do the tornados and/or swarms of locusts start?

Same here in my 120 year old house downtown SLC. Freaky.

Nothing I can tell, few bottles fell, but didn't break. Trying to make the house a sanctuary of sorts while we ride out the covid crisis, then this happens. Throws a wrench at that.

Crazy times. Just wait for the massive hail to go with the locusts.
Disrupted all of my kids getting ready to do their new home schooling was all. Some coworkers in Magna though are a bit more disrupted and had shelves fall down and such.
Hope the rest of you are safe.

Keeping my eye out for a group of four guys on horseback, wearing hoods and carrying scythes...

All good here on the border of Cottonwood Heights/Midvale/Sandy. I was out running during it, and I didn't even notice anything. I was confused when I got a call from my wife while I was out, making sure I was ok. I guess you move enough while running that you don't feel the vibrations. I felt one tiny aftershock after I got back. Could really only tell what it was because our blinds rattled a little. No damage to anything at our place from any of the quakes though.

I’m in Fruita and was laying in bed and thought it was a big truck driving by...thought it was weird how much it shook. Had no idea.

I was on the 6th floor of the Federal Building downtown when it hit. Man did we shake! They have closed the building and sent us home after numerous aftershocks - not sure when they plan to reopen. Other than that everything is okay in the Aves, though it did shake some items off of our counters and I can't find one of my cats.

Was sitting at work and felt like I was on a boat for a second. I work at a broadcasting facility, so it was quite an excitement.
