SALT LAKE CITY — In May’s first hour, a 4.2 magnitude earthquake was felt and recorded near Heber early Thursday, according to the United States Geological Survey.
The USGS said the earthquake’s center was located just three kilometers outside Independence at approximately 12:11 a.m.
KSL TV received multiple reports, as far north as Sandy, who reported feeling it. However, the USGS reported the minimum distance the shockwaves traveled was at least 30 kilometers. The quake’s depth reached 11.3 kilometers deep into the Earth’s crust.
Reports of feeling the earthquake rattle can be submitted to the USGS online for data collection.
By early morning on Thursday, no serious damage or injuries had been reported. The USGS initially reported the quake was magnitude 3.9, but it was later upgraded.
