Two earthquakes shake the Valley 

In the wee hours of the morning on June 2, some residents of the North Platte Valley were jostled from their slumber when a Magnitude 3.9 earthquake rumbled through the area. Although not uncommon for Wyoming, it is uncommon for the Valley residents to feel them. Another quake with a magnitude of 3.2 occurred in nearly the same area less than 24 hours later. Many residents said they didn't feel it, while others heard the rumble and felt the shake. No damage was reported, except to the peace of mind of those that experienced it. According to the United States Geological maps, the first quake occured at 2:15 a.m. with the epicenter at 41.685, -106.983 approximately 6 miles south of Saratoga. The second quake, just under 24 hours later was at 41.405, -106.77 approximately 3 miles south of Saratoga. Earthquakes in the Valley occur once in a while, but are usually small enough not to be noticed. On the website, earthquaketrack.com, there have been several in the past year in the valley. No damage was reported from either of these occurrences.
