“It was just so quick,” Stephens said. “It happened really fast. It only lasted a couple of seconds. It sounded like an explosion. It was really loud.”
Trophies in the high school display case tipped over. In Stephens’ own words, it felt like a truck hit the building.
By the way, I did a little digging around and found a website where you can view the actual seismogram graphs from the University of Utah's sensors in Yellowstone:
UUSS Webicorder (Seismogram) Displays, Yellowstone Region
It's interesting to go down the list of sensors and look at what they recorded for the quake yesterday (5/8/07).
hmm, weird:
That's neat, didn't kjnow such things were available.
