Natural disasters are not part of the normal Grand Valley culture, but still, I couldn't help but wonder which is more likely to occur in Grand Junction, an earthquake or a tornado.
Some residents in Garfield County around New Castle and Silt were a little shaky Monday (January 30), but it wasn't because of a wild weekend. Those shakes came from an earthquake.
Earthquakes in Western Colorado may be rare, but it's comforting to know you can use your smart phone to detect Grand Junction's next earthquake before it happens.
Did you feel the massive 3.2 earthquakes that just happened to the east of Grand Junction? Yes, more than a little bit of sarcasm here, but yes there was something that just registered a 3.2 on the USGS website.
