Luke 21:11 There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.
The Fourth of July weekend had more than fireworks shaking things up in Utah, Oregon and Alaska.
Oregon residents started their day out in an unusual way when a 4.2 magnitude quake struck around 8:42 a.m. Saturday. The quake was centered about 12 miles east of Eugene.
Officials from the Lane County Sheriff’s office and the Oregon Department of Transportation reported no damage being reported. Residents say that the quake caused some shaking of homes, pictures to fall off walls and wood piles to shift.
In Utah, a 4.0 magnitude quake struck around 10 a.m., 1 mile south of Panguitch or 200 miles south of Salt Lake City.
Panguitch Fire Chief Dave Dodds told the Deseret News the quake lasted between three and four seconds but caused no major damage.
Alaska was the most shaken up with weekend quakes.
The U.S. Geological Survey reported Alaska was shaken by two quakes within one minute.
The first, a 4.9 magnitude quake, struck around 4:49 p.m. about 24 miles southwest of Talkeetna. The second quake a minute later in the same area was reported at magnitude 5.1.
Also, the Arctic community of Kaktovik in the Arctic Ocean reported a quake around 11:26 a.m. that measured 4.6 according to the USGS.
