Did you feel some shaking this morning while you were still sleeping or getting ready for work? No, you weren't just imagining it. A 2.3 magnitude earthquake shook up Southern Utah this morning (August 24th). ABC 4 reported that a small earthquake struck just south of St. George early on Tuesday morning.
According to the University of Utah, the earthquake happened around 6:36 a.m. The earthquake is being called a "micro earthquake" and happened about 20 miles south of St. George.
This is the newest earthquake that is being reported from the University of Utah's Seismograph Stations.
Another earthquake took place on Monday night. The 1.3 magnitude earthquake struck seven miles to the southeast of Columbia, Utah. That one is also being referred to as a micro earthquake.
Tuesday's earthquake is the biggest one that has taken place recently, according to the University of Utah. Before this one, the largest recent earthquake was a 2.7 earthquake that struck four miles east of Sevier, Utah.
