SHAKE RATTLE AND ROLL
Permalink  

5.8 times actually.

A 5.8 earth quake off Bowen QLD hit around 3.00pm. It even shook Townsville to the point some businesses evacuated their work places.The van shook bigtime but all good. One of the big shopping centre had their roof shake and rattle too.

Coming from South West Gippsland VIC before this GN lifestyle I am used to 5, 6 and even 7 big shakes. The locals here are not used to them though so got a tad worried.

 

All good now.
