    Richfield, Utah, at 1:28 AM several startling shakes and one larger one was felt by my husband and I. Looking on facebook, we weren’t alone in feeling 4 to 5 earthquake shakes, along wth a larger one.
    Now at 3:30 AM no other shakes have been felt, sense the 1:28 AM Shake that shook our home.
