Kelly Dazet was home, fixing himself a cup of coffee, when a roar like a passing freight train filled his Sugar House neighborhood.
“All of a sudden everything was moving. It felt like the house was going back and forth and up and down,” Dazet said, recalling the magnitude 5.7 earthquake that rocked northern Utah a year ago this month. “The cat ran under the table. How does a cat know to do that? Everything was rattling and shaking.”
Among the jarring that morning was the unreinforced masonry enveloping Dazet’s 1924 home, an example of Salt Lake City’s dominant construction mode from that era.
