Earthquakes Felt in Arizona- Margaret King 1st

Three earthquakes occurred on Sunday, November 1st. The first was a 3.2 and happened around 9 p.m. The second was a 4.1 at 11:30 with a 4.0 about 20 min later. There was no reports of damage however they were felt by people in more than 8 Valley cities as well as up north in New Mexico and Nevada. Zachary Reeves reports saying that if there are any aftershocks they will most likely be too small to feel. Citizens are said to have heard a noise like a bomb going off and their houses shaking. Earthquakes are not extremely rare in Arizona, however, the last one occurring on May 5th of this year.

There have been several Earthquakes in Dallas that i have felt and the accounts of what the people in Arizona felt is very similar to what i have experienced, with a loud rumbling noise gradually getting louder as the ground begins to shake until it goes away. It is extremely startling when the ground beneath your feet starts to shake but i am glad that it wasn't a big enough earthquake to do a lot of damage.
