4.3 MAG Earthquake Hits Victoria Australia - Shaking Felt as Far Away as Melbourne -Authorities Say No Damage Reported
The 4.3 magnitude quake hit Leongatha in Gippsland, with shaking reported in Sunbury and Wilson’s Promontory The Guardian Australia 9 FEB 2024 Thousands of Victorians have been woken by an early morning earthquake that shook large parts of the state. The 4.3 magnitude quake hit near Leongatha in the state’s Gippsland region, 135km south-east of Melbourne, at 12.49am today. The tremors were felt as far north as Sunbury, 38km northwest of Melbourne, to Wilson’s Promontory national park in the south, government agency Geoscience Australia said. There was no threat of a tsunami in the aftermath of the quake, the Bureau of Meteorology reported. More than 4,900 people reported feeling the quake, which had a depth of 8km at its epicentre in the town of Meeniyan. There were about 10,000 quakes of about this magnitude in the world every year. Just 10 hours earlier, Melbournes’ namesake on the other side of the world also felt a similar quake. According to the US Geological Survey, there was a 4.0 magnitude earthquake, at a depth of 10km, just off the coast of Melbourne, Florida. |
