A minor earthquake was recorded Saturday night in Dolores county.
According to the United States Geological Survey, the quake was centered about a mile north of Dunton, or 37 miles northwest of Durango. It registered 3.0 on the Richter Scale, and occurred at 8:42 p.m. about one mile beneath the surface.
On person reported feeling the quake. No damages or injuries have been reported.
It began the way most miracles do: by accident or the hand of God, take your pick.
It might have been the weather, at least partly. For December, the day had been almost balmy and warm. You know, sweaters instead of heavy coats. No mittens in sight.
FIVE WORDS FOR WEALTH
Here are two more, “He who ignores discipline comes to poverty and shame, but whoever heeds correction is honored. He who walks with the wise grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm.” Proverbs 13:18,20
