Six Earthquakes in Colorado This Week; Kiowa County Quake in Early August

Early August Quake Recorded in Kiowa County

By Chris Sorensen

Global attention has been focused on the impacts of a magnitude 6.2 on the Richter Scale earthquake that occurred southeast of Norcia, Italy, Wednesday that has killed nearly 300 people.

Colorado, too, has an earthquake risk, and experienced six small quakes this week. None had an impact remotely similar to the Italian quake, and no damage or fatalities were recorded.

A magnitude 2.6 earthquake was recorded Monday night at 9:13 p.m. near Greeley.

Photo of the Week

One of our most popular features from the past 15 years - a full-page color photo on the front of the Kiowa County Press showing various impressions of life in Kiowa County. While a limited number of copies continue to be printed and distributed each week at Kiowa Healthmart, COOP C-Store in Eads, Haswell Propane, and Thunderbird Petroleum, we wanted to bring this feature to our online readers as well.

High-Altitude Survival

By Colorado Parks and Wildlife

Every year more than a few hunters must be rescued from the wilds and high country of Colorado. Hunters get trapped by snowstorms, injured in various types of accidents or simply get lost in the woods.

Hunters must remember that altitude can affect their health and their ability to move easily. And in the Rockies, weather can change quickly with fast-moving storms dumping a couple of feet of snow in just a few hours.
