Quake 'shakes Melbourne'

BREAKING NEWS: RESIDENTS across Melbourne have reported feeling the earth tremble as a quake appears to shakes the city.

Melburnians contacted the Herald Sun to report feeling the trembler from Carlton to Frankston.

The intesity of the tremor is not yet known.

MORE TO COME

Aardbeving treft Melbourne

De verwoestende bosbranden in het zuidoosten van Australië zijn nog maar nauwelijks onder controle, maar Moeder Natuur heeft opnieuw toegeslagen in het gebied. De miljoenenstad Melbourne werd vrijdag getroffen door een aardbeving, meldden Australische media.

De beving was niet al te groot, ongeveer 4,5 op de schaal van Richter, en richtte nauwelijks schade aan.

Toch kwam het hard aan in het rampgebied. De inwoners van de staat Victoria zijn na wekenlange bosbranden nog altijd aan het eind van hun Latijn. ,,We zitten zo dicht bij de vuurzee en we zijn de laatste twee drie, weken op onze hoede geweest. Onze enige gedachte was: mijn God, wat nu?'', zei een bewoonster tegen de zender ABC.

En de problemen in Australië zijn nog niet over. De staat Queensland, die vorige maand al werd getroffen door een overstroming, zet zich nu schrap voor de cycloon Hamish. De tropische storm komt vermoedelijk zondag aan land. De autoriteiten in de staat bereiden zich voor op een nieuwe watersnood.

More quakes will strike Victoria?
Seismologists say it is impossible to know whether further earthquakes will strike in Victoria, following the region's second quake in 11 days this afternoon.

A tremor that measured 4.6 on the Richter scale struck near Korumburra in Gippsland, 100 kilometres east of Melbourne, shortly after 4:00pm AEDT.

Residents reported their houses shaking for up to 10 seconds and experienced as many as three aftershocks.

Spiro Spiliopolous from Geoscience Australia says he cannot say when further quakes might occur.

"The answer is that we don't know. It's not possible to predict when earthquakes will occur," he said.

"It's unusual to see two earthquakes the same size occur in the same location, although it's not rare, not unheard of."

Seismologist John Schnieder of Geoscience Australia says the latest earthquake was probably in response to the last one.

"This earthquake undoubtedly occurred at least partially in response to the other one," he said.

"It would've occurred on the same fault and fracturing just a slightly different piece of turf."

There have been no reports of injuries but the State Emergency Service says anyone who has experienced damage should turn their power, water and gas off.

Many residents are saying this tremor was much stronger than the last one.

Peter Sutton of Warragul says he could feel his whole house moving.

"Sitting in the chair about to put the TV on; there was a giant crack and everything began to shake for about five or six seconds," he said.

"It felt like the whole house was shaking the whole house was moving from side to side."

ABC Online contributor Bruce says the quake was felt in Abbotsford in Melbourne's north-east.

"At first I heard the roof rattle and thought it was the cat jumping about," he said.

"Then the floor and walls started to shake for about seven seconds.

"Didn't feel the first one but definitely felt it today."

ABC Online contributor Helen S from Neerim North also felt the tremor.

"I heard the rumble, just before I felt two distinct jolts, like something hitting my cottage," she said.

"My roof made a horrible noise so I moved to the doorway.

"As I held the frame, I could feel the shudder through the post.

"The rumble continued and my crockery, an ornament with beads on it and a couple of other things, tinkled and made noises for about eight to 10 seconds."

CNN) -- A tsunami warning was issued and then canceled Friday shortly after a major earthquake struck early Friday off the coast of Tonga.

The earthquake "generated a small tsunami," but there is "no evidence of destructive waves," said Stewart Weinstein, assistant director of the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Hawaii.

Robert Cessaro, a geophysicist with the center, said: "There's a tsunami in the water, but it's not gonna do much."

On the largest island in the Tonga chain, Tongatapu, in the capital city of Nukualofa, a clerk at the International Dateline Hotel said the earthquake was felt but caused no damage.

At the Fafa Island Resort, off Nukualofa, Joseph Sanladerer told CNN that the earthquake woke up guests and shook wine glasses from racks, but caused no significant damage.

The tsunami center issued the regional tsunami warning for parts of the Pacific near the quake's epicenter, about 213 kilometers (132 miles) south-southeast of Nuku'alofa, Tonga. The quake struck at 6:17 a.m. local time (6:17 p.m. GMT).

At a depth of just 6.2 miles (10 km), it is considered a shallow earthquake. Typically, the shallower the quake, the more destructive potential it carries. But that is not always the case.

The USGS recorded the quake as 7.9 magnitude; the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said it was 7.7. There were no immediate reports of damage or death.

The earthquake struck a few hours after a volcano erupted off Tongatapu, Tonga, about 200 km away.
