Massive tremor in Jhb?

[neoprema]

Where is the sensors the US geological survey uses. Must only be estimate for now.

It’s not just theirs, they subscribe to data from other sources in real-time as well.
The Earthquake app says the 5.0 is now due to “manual update” so prob one of the universities or a private monitoring station they consume data from has update it from their richter?

Im in Boksburg and since the quake we’ve been hearing dull thuds that sounds like its coming from below. I wonder if some of the tunnels are not collapsing

@wingnut771 you still around or was that KZN deciding to secede into the ocean?

Funny did anyone also else hear birds making noise during and after? Not sure if it was them or the quake who woke me

It woke up all the Hadedas in Kyalami.

 

[DapperDanMan]

Yes, felt it in Centurion as well.

And did you remain under the bed, @Tokolotshe?

It hit Centurion at 02:39 and there was some weird audio captured on my cctv system followed by most of the birds waking and then dogs, couldn’t see any shaking or hear windows rattling

 

[McTwinks]

Centurion really represented in these earthquake threads. Mooi so, manne.

This is a duplicate.

The word you are looking for is aftershock.

Not me who slept right through it looking at this thread.
