Massive tremor in Jhb?

Felt it nicely in Centurion. Nice to see a few members already reported it! My house was shaking! Lol
 
Woke up from dog barking couldn't figure out what woke her up she settled and we all went to bed. Woke up this morning to "quake" on WhatsApp groups
 
Volcanodiscovery.com states this: 2 x 10^12 joules (554 megawatt hours, equivalent to 477 tons of TNT) energy was released.

 
Earthquake rocks Gauteng

A magnitude 4.7 earthquake with an epicentre in the South of Johannesburg shook Gauteng at 02:38 on Sunday morning, the Council of Geosciences reports.

Residents of South Africa’s most populous city received a rude awakening on Sunday morning, with several reporting the tremor on social media.
 
My wife asked me if I felt it. I am usually a light sleeper (or so I thought), but I slept like a baby. (Im in Pretoria)
 
I was awake and felt it. For a moment I thought my armageddon nightmare had come true. In my nightmare I experienced massive earth tremors one after another. I even looked out to see if there was a mushroom cloud. Very frightening.
