March 18 SLC Earthquake

Last revised 28 March, 2020

Woke up to my snooze alarm at around 7:10-7:15 AM and within seconds my whole building was shaking. The shaking lasted maybe 20 to 30 seconds with aftershocks coming a few minutes after. I probably felt the last aftershock around 8:00 AM.

It was a magnitude 5.7 earthquake that seems to have occurred in Magna. The University of Utah's seismograph monitoring website seems to be overwhelmed, so secondary news sources are all that is easily available right now.

Update March 28
The last noticeable aftershock was March 25. It seems less and less likely that the first one on March 18 was a foreshock to "the big one".
