The 2.2 magnitude quake sparked reports from several people in Magna and West Jordan, who reported feeling mild shaking for three to five seconds, according to University of Utah seismologist Relu Burlacu.

Burlacu said most of the reports came from people who lived very close to the center of the event.

There have been no reports of any injuries or property damage, according to both Burlacu and the Salt Lake County Sheriff's Office.

That's expected with something this small, said Bob Carey, an earthquake manager with the Utah Division of Emergency Services and Homeland Security.

"It's just a minor event in the geology of the basin here," he said. "We would not expect anything of that size to cause anything significant."

Carey said a quake would have to reach around a 4.0 or 5.0 magnitude before it would cause minor structural damage.

But Carey said it is interesting that people are even feeling something as small as a 2.2 quake. He said it shows that the basin area is fairly responsive to seismic activity.

Carey recommends that families review their emergency plans together and exercise them at least once a year so everyone remembers where they are supposed to meet and how to get out of the house.

Carey said the minor quake should not signify anything larger coming to the area.

"At least 95 percent of the time there's a quake, what you're feeling is the main shock," Carey said. "It would be unusual for it not to be."
