Comments from readers to the Deseret Morning News Web site about Thursday morning's earthquake in Wells, Nev.:

I felt that and saw items on a small table sway back and forth. It wasn't much, but enough to make me notice and wonder if there was a quake. I live on the west bench of Salt Lake Valley. — MC

We felt the earthquake in Burley, Idaho. It shook us awake and lasted for less than 10 seconds. — Jared

I didn't feel a thing in Park City. — Kevin

We felt it in Delta, Utah. Then we felt additional one about 20 minutes later. —Brian

I was wheeling the trash out to the curb at the time it hit, I didn't notice anything. — Lehi

I felt it too ... I live in Heyburn, Idaho. Quite strong. — Gary

I live in Carlin, Nev. It was pretty good here. It made the house shake and my chimes go off in the house and also made some things fall of my hutch. — Karin

I was in bed this morning and thought someone was moving my bed a couple of times to wake me up ... I am in West Jordan. — SD

I felt it for about 40 seconds this morning. I am staying in a hotel in Elko and items fell off my nightstand. It felt as if the whole building was swaying back and forth. — Rob.

I am in California (Northern) as I was getting ready this morning I thought I felt a strange sway around the same time. We also have property in Elko County. — Stacy

I work in West Valley and we felt it here. The whole building shook and the plants and window blinds were swaying/jiggling. — Michelle

I was sitting right here at my desk in Draper ... Didn't feel a thing. It's really fascinating to me to see how strong it was in some places, and nothing at all in others not too far away. Felt in West Jordan, but not in South Jordan? That's really weird. — Kia

I was at a stop light at 3200 West just coming off 2100 South. My car was rocking and I thought something was wrong with it (I've been having some other car issues this week). I was surprised to hear it was an earthquake when I got to work. — Lynn

I'm so disappointed, I didn't feel a thing. I live in Farmington. — Josie

We were up and alert in Orem at the time and felt nothing at all. — Robert

Felt it good. I was on my computer at 7:18 am at home and everything started swaying. I thought maybe I was getting dizzy, but then I noticed the blind cords swaying side to side several inches and I knew it was an earthquake. — Rob

We were in a Board Meeting on the 6th floor of a downtown SLC building. It caused a pause in the meeting as the building gently swayed. — David
