Earthquake

We have to be careful not to jump to apocalyptic conclusions when there's an earthquake in Wyoming. But, I will admit that the one that struck just west of Rock Springs this morning was unusual.

Wyoming has earthquakes all the time. Most are in the western part of the state near the seismically-active Yellowstone. But, a moderate quake has just struck where we don't usually see earthquakes just south of the Bighorns.

The U.S. Geological Survey says the epicenter was about 20 miles northeast of Jackson.

The quake's depth was estimated to be 4.7 miles below ground.

There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries.

There was a major earthquake this morning that rocked downtown Salt Lake City.

We get a lot of earthquakes in Wyoming. Most are near the very seismically active area near Yellowstone. That's why it was a bit of a surprise to learn that an earthquake just occurred in southern Wyoming near Saratoga.

There are no immediate reports of damage or injuries.

I doubt that even the pronghorn that were grazing right above this were aware that anything happened, but there was a minor earthquake west of Casper Sunday morning.

I highly doubt you felt this, but there was a minor earthquake centered just northwest of Casper this morning.
