A magnitude 3.3 earthquake shook central Utah on Wednesday evening about 9 miles outside of Price.
The quake was reportedly felt throughout Carbon County.
Data from the University of Utah Seismograph Stations shows that it hit shortly after 6:30 p.m. The rattling went about 2 miles deep in the Earth’s surface and lasted about 22 seconds.
It comes after another 4.4 earthquake nearby less than two weeks ago close to Circleville in Piute County.
At least one smaller aftershock, around a magnitude 1.7, occurred after the main tremor. So far there have been no reports of damage or injuries.
