ST. GEORGE — An earthquake rattled parts of Garfield and Iron counties Wednesday morning. The magnitude 3.7 tremor struck at 7:11 a.m.
The earthquake shook Garfield County but did not cause any damage. Deputy Jason Miller of the Garfield County Sheriff’s Office said the quake was rather minor.
When asked about any damage that might have occurred, Miller said there had been none reported.
“I don’t think there will be (any damage),” Miller said. “It was just enough to wake people up.”
At 7:30 a.m., the United States Geological survey website showed three reports of feeling a small quake – two at intensity III and one at intensity II, which is considered light shaking. The intensity scale goes up to X, which is considered very heavy shaking.
