A minor earthquake struck a remote corner of Utah early Tuesday, the U.S. Geological Survey confirmed.
The USGS reported that the magnitude 3.7 quake shook the desert at 3:44 a.m. local time. The epicenter was in Utah’s southwest corner, about 14 miles east of Enterprise and 28 miles north of St. George. People also reported feeling it in Hurricane.
A total of 6 earthquakes of magnitude 3.0 or greater have happened in the same area since 1962, the largest of which was a magnitude 4.2 temblor in 1981, according to Jamie Farrell, an assistant research professor at the University of Utah Seismograph Stations.
