Looks like minor damage so far.

SALT LAKE CITY — The largest earthquake to hit Utah in 28 years rocked the state just after 7 a.m. Wednesday.

The U.S. Geological Survey initially reported the 5.7-magnitude quake hit just northeast of Magna about 7:09 a.m.

A second 3.7-magnitude aftershock hit about 7:15 a.m., according to the USGS, and another 3.5-magnitude aftershock hit shortly after. As of 7:30 a.m., at least 10 aftershocks had already hit, ranging from magnitude 2.5 to 3.9, according to the USGS.

The latest updates on Wednesday's earthquake will be posted below. If you're on a mobile device and can't see the updates, click on this link.

Updates are also available over the airwaves via KSL NewsRadio, 102.7 FM or 1160 AM, or via KSL 5 TV.

The Utah Division of Emergency Management said it had received reports of the quake from all over the Wasatch Front, from Logan to Riverton.

The agency said Wednesday's quake was the largest to hit Utah since 1992.

Angel Moroni atop Salt Lake Temple damaged

The Angel Moroni figure on the top of the Salt Lake Temple was damaged Wednesday, presumably due to the earthquake.

Photos from Temple Square show the angel has lost his trumpet.

Completely inaccurate. Look up 'Justinian Plague', 'Black Death'.

Looks like there could be beachfront property in Utah soon, as the West drops into the Pacific

I guess the old jokes are still the best jokes, although this isn't the way plate tectonics works out west as of this era.

5.7 is nothing to sneeze at. There was/is a whole cluster of them all in the same area.
