The Utah Department of Public Safety said there are currently no reports of injuries or damage connected to the earthquake.
According to the University of Utah Seismograph Station, at least six aftershocks have occurred following the original earthquake. However, the station's director, Keith Koper, said he doesn't believe a bigger quake is coming and estimated the chances of a larger shock at only 1-2 percent.
Koper added that earthquakes from the region are rare, which he says is exciting for his team.

Thursday's event comes after several small earthquakes have been recorded across northern Utah since the start of the year.
