SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — With much of normal life at a screeching halt to combat the coronavirus, millions of people in Utah are hunkered down in the safety of their homes. But on Wednesday morning, even that protection felt fragile as an earthquake strong enough to shut down the airport tore through the Salt Lake City area. Dozens were driven from buildings and homes near the epicenter and tens of thousands more lost power. A chemical plume was released at a nearby copper mine, and airplane passengers were temporarily stranded. Bricks showered onto sidewalks, and a golden angel statute atop the iconic Salt Lake Temple was damaged.
