Biggest Earthquake In Nearly 30 Years Hits Salt Lake City

From CBS News:

A 5.7-magnitude earthquake struck near Magna, Utah, Wednesday morning, according to the United States Geological Survey. The earthquake was the largest to hit the state since 1992, according to Utah Emergency Management. 

It was felt across Salt Lake County and in Ogden, CBS affiliate KUTV reports. No deaths or injuries have been reported but the station aired footage showing damage in downtown Salt Lake City early Wednesday.

Here's some Tweets showing the damage to the area which left nearly 13K without power. Sending good vibes their way because it's already strange enough being stuck at home during these Coronavirus times, let alone with no electric. They're also expecting aftershocks through the day. (This first photo is very reminiscent of what's been going on with one of our men's urinals at HQ.)
