KASHI COUNTY, Utah, Jan. 3, 2023 (Gebhardt Daily) — Four earthquakes in less than 24 hours have captured the attention of people in northern Utah.

The four small quakes were centered near Benson in Cache County northwest of Logan.

The first quake struck on Monday at 6:27 a.m. and had a magnitude of 2.6 according to the US Geological Survey.

A second earthquake occurred Monday night at 10:50 p.m. with a magnitude of 2.9, slightly stronger.

The US Geological Survey said that the third quake occurred in the same area about 4 hours later, at 2:38 a.m. Tuesday and was recorded with a magnitude of 2.7 on the Richter scale.

Forty-five minutes later, at 3:23 a.m., a fourth, weaker, small earthquake struck the area, according to a post on the University of Utah Seismograph Stations website. Microquakes are seismic events of low intensity, usually non-twisting, with a magnitude of 2.0 or less.

Hundreds of people reported feeling the earthquakes, and while there were no reports of major damage or injuries, it was clear that these seismic events had people on edge.

“Holy crap, seriously! I have never felt an earthquake in my life until this morning when it woke me up from my sleep and now this earthquake! 2 in 1 day?,” one Facebook user wrote after Monday night’s quake. like that?”

“Yeah. We thought Semi ran into our house!,” another Facebook user replied.

“I may be going crazy with anxiety right now, but I seriously feel like I can still feel the earth shaking a little bit and shifting a bit,” another social media user wrote.

Utahns have the right to be fickle, especially those who live near the 240-mile Wasatch Fault that stretches from southern Idaho to central Utah.

The severity of the earthquake threat posed to the state was driven home on Wednesday morning, March 18, 2020, when a 5.7-magnitude earthquake struck three miles outside of Magna. While there were no deaths or serious injuries, damages from the upsetting event were estimated at $48 million.

Since the 2020 earthquake, the U of U Seismograph stations have reported more than 2,700 related aftershocks.

Despite the concern, a woman who lives in Amalga had a good sense of humor in her Facebook post. “I wondered if it was an earthquake! Taylor and I woke up dead asleep soundly asleep lol! I thought a tractor hit my house or something. He should have seen us walking around the house trying to figure out what happened.”
