Woke myself and Mrs Grenvold up. Maybe asleep at the beginning but woke up to a house shake and bake. Def not as big as the one from 2001. But a good rattle nontheless. Grenvold Jnr subsequently woke up and was a bit worried at first.

It was just the shift from the ALP.

Didn’t feel that one.

So we ended up having an earthquake some distance away. Really quite a peaceful…MRS THT not so amused

There were actually two; a 3.5 followed by a 3.2.

Both around the same spot as the larger one last week.

My best was about 25 small ones in a day! Didn’t even makes the news.
