View Date:2024-12-23 17:00:26
A 2.5-magnitude earthquake hit Utah around 2:30 a.m. local time, according to the United States Geological Survey.
The earthquake hit about four miles northwest of Cedar City, Utah and about 220 miles southwest of Salt Lake City.
According to the USGS, some weak to light shaking was felt around Cedar City and Enoch. The earthquake hit at a depth of about 3.7 miles, according to the agency. No damage or injures were immediately reported.
According to the USGS, there is not one magnitude above which damage will occur. It depends on other variables, such as the distance from the earthquake, what type of soil you are on, building construction, among others. However, the USGS says damage does not usually occur until the earthquake magnitude reaches somewhere above 4 or 5.
