A map shows where an earthquake hit Wasatch County Thursday morning.

A 3.9 magnitude earthquake struck south of Heber Valley early Thursday morning, rattling much of Wasatch and Utah counties.

The earthquake occurred west of Independence at 12:11 a.m., just 19 miles east of Provo, and had a depth of 13.8 km, according to the University of Utah seismograph station.

No damage is reported as of Thursday morning, a Utah Geological Survey spokesperson said.

Several people noticed the quake and took to social media to react.

“I just felt an earthquake in Provo, UT a few minutes ago,” X user Dan Fairbanks said.

“Earthquake felt at 12:12 a.m. on May 1, 2025 in Pleasant Grove, Utah. Anyone else feel it?” added Jakiah Nauman via X.

Another X user, Nathan Cannon, said he felt the quake from Orem.

“Just felt an earthquake … I Think. Or someone jumped upstairs really loudly,” he said.
