Shadow quick question. Would you be affect by Yellowstone since you are so close?

[Joan C.]

Cheryl, I missed that and it makes sense. Thanks.

Hi Joan,

Because of the amount of earthquakes we started an earthquake group. Since you already have responses, leave this one here, but in the future could you post earthquake-related news to the Earthquakes group? Thanks.

Back on June 4th, a 4.9 hit northern Utah. Today's is more southwest.

Kim, I'm not able to locate information on Utah over the past month on USGS, when searching by state the response is that there are no earthquakes greater than 1.6 in Utah. Huh? I'll look elsewhere.

[Joan C.]

Not sure but will research and respond shortly.

[Kim B]

Was this quake in the same area as the one that happened a month or two ago?
