Time to start my day + Utah earthquake

| No Comments

Heading out for coffee. Working on the garage today. Upgrading the other music computer too - upgraded it to Windows 10 last night, installing an SSD today. Been too long without a keyboard set up here - starting to work in the music room.

Nothing much happening except for a swarm of earthquakes in Utah - 5.7Mag hit Salt Lake City. From CBS News:

5.7-magnitude earthquake shakes Salt Lake County, Utah
A 5.7-magnitude earthquake struck near Magna, Utah, Wednesday morning, according to the United States Geological Survey. The temblor knocked out power for tens of thousands and operations at Salt Lake City International Airport came to a halt.

It is the largest earthquake to hit the state since a 5.9 magnitude quake struck southern Utah in 1992, according to Utah Emergency Management.The quake was felt across Salt Lake County and in Ogden and as far away as Wyoming, CBS affiliate KUTV reports.

Power outages:

Rocky Mountain Power tweeted around 8 a.m. local time that it is aware of a "large scale power outage in the Salt Lake Valley Area impacting approximately 55,000 customers" due to the earthquake.

No word as to any damage to the pipe organ in the Mormon Tabernacle - a gorgeous instrument. The local FOX News affiliate is running a blog with constant updates: FOX13 Salt Lake City
