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.

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.
