Utah’s Largest Earthquake Since 1992 Strikes at 5.7 Magnitude

It’s scary times out here and things just got a bit worse for Utah. A 5.7-magnitude earthquake struck just outside Salt Lake City, Utah, early Wednesday, knocking out the state’s coronavirus hotline, according to the governor.

This was the state’s largest earthquake since 1992, according to Utah Emergency Management. It happened around 7 a.m. “It lasted about 15, 20 seconds, shaking pretty hard,” said a Utah resident. “Then I felt swaying for about another 15 seconds.”

This earthquake has completely knocked out the Utah’s Coronavirus hotline and resident will not be able to access information via telephone in case they have the virus. 

Let’s pray that there isn’t any aftershocks. ??
