AUSTRALIA - RESIDENTS in towns along the NSW mid-north coast inundated
police with calls of a tremor that shook homes yesterday evening.
Taree police said they took “a lot” of calls from people in the area
reporting an earth tremor about 9.30pm (AEDT).
But in Canberra, Geoscience Australia, the agency that measures seismic
activity, said it had not recorded any tremor in the area.
“We have registered absolutely nothing at all on our seismograph,” a
spokeswoman said.
Police said they received calls from concerned residents.
“Most of the calls came from Forster, with people saying their windows
and doors were rattling,” the police spokesman said. “A few residents
were concerned people were breaking into their homes. But it's a fair
dinkum mystery what happened.”
The “tremor” lasted anything from a few seconds to up to two minutes,
according to reports.
