Yes, I did feel that, about 2:39am, I was in bed, lasted about 10 sec, thought it was a mining rockfall. Sounds almost like a heavy roller door being opened with a bit of movement.0

I was sleeping when the earthquake startedIt woke me up. The bedroom doors and the windows were rattling and made a lot of noise.My thinking was that the windows are going to crack.It curries on for quite a while and then it calm down and there was still a slight shacking for a while where the door and windows weren't rattling.This morning at about 4am , i felt another light earthquake. Very light compared to the previous session.0

It was the strongest tremor we've had in at least the last ten years I think. It lasted for about 15 seconds. No damage to our residence or pictures falling etc. Above ground I don't think it inflicted much damage at all. I am concerned about the people working underground though. I hope they are all safe.0
