Utah was hit by a 4.7 magnitude earthquake just before 8 a.m. Thursday, according to reports. The epicenter was about six miles south of the Wyoming state line, and a few miles west of State Route 150, according to Keith Koper, the director of the University of Utah Seismograph Stations.
By mid-morning, Koper said instruments had recorded at least six aftershocks from the earthquake.
There’s a chance, he added, that people along the Wasatch Front might feel aftershocks throughout the day Thursday, and there’s a 1%-2% chance that the earthquake could indicate a larger earthquake to follow in the coming days.
Koper found Thursday’s earthquake particularly interesting because it happened “in a really unusual place,” miles east of the Wasatch’s main fault zone.
Koper said Thursday’s earthquake likely caused little to no damage.
