I feel the earth moved under my feet…

and no, I am not practicing for the next season of American Idol.

As I sat here this morning this eerie feeling came over me. It took me a second to realize what it was, I haven’t felt it in a few years, but we had an earthquake!

The epicenter was around Wells, NV – between Elko, NV and Wendover, UT. It was a 6.3 magnitude quake around 7:15 AM which is pretty good for this part of the country. There have been about a half dozen aftershocks too. It is being reported that people have felt it from Boise, ID to here in Salt Lake City, UT throughout Nevada and down to Arizona and So. California.

Of course I immediately called my wife, who did not feel a thing… She’s not a morning person.

The good news is we are all ok. Pray that the people in Nevada are ok.

Now, hunny, just go check on my truck…
