A 4.1 magnitude earthquake has just occurred in the NSW Upper Hunter Region, causing quite a commotion. People in Muswellbrook, near the town of Edderton, started feeling tremors at 1.12pm. It seems that the epicentre of the quake was located directly underneath the Mt Authur coal mine, near Edderton. This information comes from Geoscience Australia, a reliable source when it comes to natural disasters.
The earthquake was relatively shallow, occurring at a depth of 3km. Despite this, it was felt by almost 400 people both north and south of the epicentre. Even residents in the cities of Newcastle and Sydney reported feeling the effects of the quake. It's quite a surreal experience to feel the ground beneath you shaking and rumbling.
This isn't the first time the region has experienced such an event. In fact, it's the third quake to be felt this year alone. In September, a 4.5 magnitude quake shook the same mine, causing some concern among locals. And just last month, in August, another mine in Dennman was hit by a quake. It seems that the earth beneath us is constantly moving and surprising us with its power.
Thankfully, there have been no reports of significant damage or injuries caused by the earthquake. However, it serves as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of our planet and the importance of being prepared for any potential disasters. Let's hope that this is the last quake to be felt in the region for a while, and that everyone stays safe and sound.
