Saratoga Springs Quake and the Big One
Description
A tiny 2.3-magnitude quake rattled Saratoga Springs early Friday morning, jolting over 60 people awake — but thankfully, no damage occurred. It’s not the first tremor this year in the area; a stronger 3.5-magnitude quake hit nearby in February, felt from Draper to Eagle Mountain. While Utah sees about 800 quakes annually, most are too small to notice — this one was the second minor shake this week, near Magna too. Experts say a major 6.0+ quake is likely in the Wasatch Front within 50 years, though a 7.6+ is improbable due to regional fault structure.
