Earthquake: M 4.4 - Colorado?!!?

GOOD

Only 1.6 miles deep...this one was definitely felt!

How often does Colorado have earthquakes?!?!

Wow! Don't see that very often. Good catch OP!

hope it reached their underground bunkers and cracked some walls

No "i felt it" reports on earthquake-report..

Yikes!... wonder what's going on under there? A few hours and we should see if it's going to escalate...

Interesting, for sure. We had one near Trinidad (southeast part of the state) last year I think but earthquakes are not common here at all.

From the looks of the map it might've been a tad remote.... maybe no one around?

Are they fracking there???

Last time Colorado had a sizeable quake Virginia soon followed...

Possibly!

Iran now. I think it will go across the US in that line. Virginia?

We shall see!! Sure would be something if one did hit in Virginia!!

There are hundreds of "tweets" about it on Twitter

I know several who got woke up

Do you have any links or anything! I suck at twitter!

Thanks for posting, this is the reason I come to GLP land.

rsoe edis still has it as a 4.4

I live in Colorado Springs and we did not feel a earthquake nor was one reported on the news. Colorado does not generally have earthquakes.

A 3.9 mag hit just south of Grand Junction, Colorado. That's the western border of Colorado and Utah. Anyone east of the Rocky Mountains would not have felt it.

It's been downgraded to 3.9. I live about 24 miles east of the epicenter and didn't feel it. But some people 60 miles north felt it. I feel robbed :/

Paradox Valley gets small quakes once every few years induced by injecting brine deep in the Earth (mentioned on this USGS page) [link to earthquake.usgs.gov]

There are also countless abandoned uranium mines everywhere. The epicenter is near an active copper mine and 5 miles from the site of a proposed new uranium mill.
