5.7 Earthquake in Salt Lake City on 3/18/20

[Irving]

Didn't even hear about this yesterday. Shut down the airport and everything for a little bit. 5.7 on the scale. The trumpet fell out of the angel's hand on top of the church. USGS says Utah has an earthquake over a 5 about every ten years, and over a 6 every 50 years.

Here is the article.

Read that earlier. It was buried on Fox so I just assumed I missed hearing about amid the virus pandemonium. I think it was the governor who said, "That's the last thing we need right now" or something close. He's right.

I have a video from our data center in SLC... pretty neat to see all of our servers shaking side to side ;)

The Mormons are already good preppers, but I suspect that sent them into overdrive.

Woke my son up.

I keep telling you all...the 5.7 is a great round.

Supposedly NASA warns there might be an asteroid strike soon.

So, if we get whacked by an asteroid or two, will that kill the coronavirus?

[Gman]

Maybe.

Saw this on the news yesterday. There was some concern that it knocked out a coronavirus hotline.

Virus, earthquake, tornadoes, snowstorm (20 inches up here so far), asteroids....the end is nigh! [panic]

I'm glad I did not mention the space aliens...but don't worry the Space Force can handle it.

Haven't read it, but you can find one of those click-bait articles on any given day of the month. It's a product of a news system that profits on headlines suckering in clicks.

I guarantee, whenever you see a headline "NASA predicts asteroid may hit earth soon!" It's either a .0001% chance in 2558, or a .00000000001% chance tomorrow.

Sure, technically it "could" happen. Just like Jennifer Aniston could fall in love with your picture on Facebook and send you all of her money.
