5.5 Colorado Earthquake

Just curious, didn't anyone post the big quake in Virginia this morning?

All of the brains behind the posts are great! All the detailed information is wonderful!
I haven't logged into here for a while. I live in CO and thought I'd get on to see some details. I was laying in bed last night trying to sleep and felt (only for a split second) as if I was on a boat! I thought I had lost my mind. Apparently not.... While I'm not 100% sure I felt something, I'm sure it was this. I live in Denver. So quite a ways away. I checked my USGS app on my phone, but it was too soon to see anything and I was quite tired.

100 miles south of Flagstaff Az.

Didn't feel a thing.

Did any earthquakes hit Atlanta?

Not sure if anyone already mentioned but it was felt in New Brunswick, Canada as well.

I watch and subscribe to Dutschsince on Youtube. He is very informative and usually has good insight into earthquakes, and major weather problems.

I wasn't aware of any fault lines in Colorado. What fault lines run through Colorado? Did It cause any rock slides due to all the mountains?

The Sangre de Cristo fault is the longest fault in Colorado that has compelling evidence of late Quaternary movement. The fault marks the western side of the Sangre de Cristo Range and the eastern margin of the San Luis Valley and extends about 300 km from Poncha Pass at the northern end of the San Luis Valley in Colorado to near Taos, New Mexico on the south.

I guess some rocks came down on hwy 12 and I-25. A few homes near Trinidad were damaged pretty bad. I'm just hoping the boulders in my backyard stay put.

I posted this on another thread, but virginia and co had aftershocks within the last hour - here is the website:

Also, just saw on twitter.com, that TEMA has told Tennesseans to get prepared. Just sayin . . .
