The magnitude 2.5 earthquake rumbled into the far western part of Summit County in Parleys Canyon around at 9:30 a.m. Thursday.
Summit County Treasurer Corrie Forsling, who lives in Summit Park, felt it.
“I was working in my home office, and all of a sudden I felt this shaking of the wall,” she said. “It was so sudden and fast. In my mind, I thought, ‘Oh, a truck hit the house.’ Obviously, that would have been worse, but then my dogs started barking. And, I thought, ‘That's crazy. I wonder if it was an earthquake.’”
Forsling’s office is upstairs; her husband didn’t feel anything downstairs. She said she heard a crash, whereas he heard a low rumble, like someone was running up the stairs.
It all lasted just a few seconds.
According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the earthquake occurred at a depth of 7.5 miles.
Reports show it was felt in parts of Summit and Salt Lake counties from Glenwild to the bottom of Parleys.
No damage or injuries were reported.
