It was an aftershock of a quake two days ago that was the strongest U.S. quake in four years, scientists said. The quake, at 7 a.m., registered 4.6 to 4.7 on the Richter scale. It's epicenter was near the Utah-Idaho border community of Blue Creek, Utah, apparently within five miles of the center of Thursday's more powerful tremor, the University of Utah seismology center reported. The center had forecast that aftershocks would occur for days after Thursday's quake, which registered 6.3, but center director Kenneth L.

Cook said this morning's tremor was "a little larger than we had predicted." Thursday's earthquake was the strongest in the United States since a 1971 tremor in California killed 64 persons and caused millions of dollars of damage, the National Earthquake Center in Golden, said. The Richter Scale is a measure of ground motion as recorded on seismographs. Every increase of one number means a tenfold increase in magnitude. 1974 Safeway mobile home. Take over payments.
