Utah has seen in a spike in seismic activity in 2020, with more than 2000 aftershocks recorded in aftermath of a 5.7 magnitude quake centered near Magna the morning of March 18. The intense quake shook the Salt Lake Valley and much of northern Utah causing millions of dollars in property damage.
Last Friday night, a 2.3 magnitude aftershock struck outside of Magna and was reported by hundreds of area residents.
Seismologists say aftershocks from the March 18, 2020 quake could continue into next year.
