Tens of thousands of people in Utah are without power after an earthquake rocked the Salt Lake City metro area early Wednesday, causing some damage and closing the city's airport. Anthony Burton of the Salt Lake City Fire Department told Fox News while the quake was centered about 10 to 15 miles west of Salt Lake City, the temblor was "pretty strong" in the city. Operations at Salt Lake City International Airport came to a halt and the control tower and concourses were evacuated, the airport tweeted. The road to the Salt Lake International Airport was closed and officials asked people not to head to the airport. About 70,000 people lost electricity in the Salt Lake City area, said utility Rocky Mountain Power.
