onetrack Posted Tuesday at 09:31 AM Posted Tuesday at 09:31 AM There are thousands of earthquake-recording stations, all over the world. There are 150 stations in Australia and over 500 world-wide. They record in near real-time and the earthquake-watchers know about earthquakes within a few seconds of them occurring. This is all tied in with Tsunami warnings, because early warnings of Tsunamis are vital to reduce losses. https://www.ga.gov.au/education/natural-hazards/earthquake 1
onetrack Posted Tuesday at 09:54 AM Posted Tuesday at 09:54 AM 48 minutes ago, old man emu said: The other night I slept through an earthquake whose epicentre was only 50-odd kilometres away. When I made some enquiries on-line, I found that it had been reported on a website originating in the USA. Was it really only "the other night", OME? The earthquake records say that the only decent earthquake in recent times in your neck of the woods, was a 5.3 magnitude 'quake at Nyngan on May 23, 2025. https://earthquaketrack.com/p/australia/new-south-wales/recent 1

old man emu Posted Tuesday at 11:06 AM Posted Tuesday at 11:06 AM Me name's not Rip van Bloody Winkle. But when I fall asleep, I sleep the sleep of the Just. Mag. 3.1 earthquake - Gilgandra, 55 km northeast of Dubbo, Western Plainsal, New South Wales, Australia, on Monday, Jul 7, 2025, at 01:15 am (GMT +10) 1
onetrack Posted Tuesday at 11:08 AM Posted Tuesday at 11:08 AM Ahhh, a 3.1 'quake is just a gentle bed-rocking, OME! - not a real earthquake! 😄 1
old man emu Posted Tuesday at 11:18 AM Posted Tuesday at 11:18 AM It certainly stirs up the animals. There are horses in the npaddocks around my dwelling, and they get really spooked when earthquakes happen. 1

onetrack Posted Tuesday at 11:56 AM Posted Tuesday at 11:56 AM He sleeps the sleep of the just-disturbed, earthquake-region dwellers? 😄 3
Marty_d Posted Tuesday at 12:23 PM Posted Tuesday at 12:23 PM As long as he doesn't sleep like a baby. You know, waking up every 3 hours wetting the bed and crying for a boob. 2
