Earthquake Townsville

[Garpal Gumnut]

We just had an earthquake. Quite chastening.

4.4 on the Richter.

We are used to disastrous occurrences, cyclones, flood, drought, Victorians with caravans, but this was a bit of a surprise.

Anyways off to sleep.

Obviously a greater being is trying to get rid of the place.

yes, they'd be quoting Geoscience Australia

As far as I know there is no damage from the earthquake. Some people lost power for a few hours.

well then that's a good thing, Townsville having recently suffered a flood event, the community would need some well earned respite.
