SALT LAKE CITY — People across the state, from Logan to Provo, likely felt the effects of an earthquake during the Thursday morning commute.
The epicenter of the 4.7-magnitude earthquake was about 25 miles south of Evanston, Wyoming, according to the United States Geological Survey.
People reported household items and furniture shaking, dogs barking and cats cowering.
"I was just sitting at my desk in my living room when all of a sudden I felt my house shaking and sat for a second, confused," said Madison Olsen, in West Bountiful. "Then I could see my computers and lamp start shaking. I literally stood up, getting ready to run to my kid if I had to, but thankfully it wasn't too long."
Ogden resident Sandra Droguett-Collio said she "felt the floor moving."
"I was so light," Droguett-Collio said.
Farmington resident Troy Schauerhamer said Thursday's earthquake is only the second he's experienced in Utah.
