Australia: Biggest Quake in 15 Years
As reported by news.com.au:
The earthquake’s epicentre was recorded at shallow depth near Ernabella, 415km north west of Coober Pedy and about 320km south west of Alice Springs, just before 8pm.
Geoscience Australia reported the quake could have been felt by people up to 500km away and damage experienced within a 40km radius of the epicentre.
…The earthquake was the most powerful in Australia since a 6.3 magnitude quake off Collier Bay, on Western Australia’s north coast, on August 10, 1997.
I figure it almost makes a case for the 188-day earthquake cycle – it was just outside the predicted days, and it wasn’t the biggest of quakes, but for Australia it was huge. Keep in mind that unlike Japan / NZ / Chile etc, the middle of Australia is the middle of a tectonic plate, not the edge.
