Twin earthquakes shake South Australia

towards the end of July, two small-scale earthquake occurred during dawn in Australia with one shaken the land about 10km northeast of Quorn in Flinders Rangers and another one on the Eyre Peninsula. The two earthquakes were measured with magnitude of 4.3 and 2.9 respectively. Fortunately, the two lands experienced the tremor are with scattered population where it did not cause any damage. A resident said the earthquake lasted for seconds and felt like a truck driving past.

Natural disasters are hard to be determined and detected. What we can do is be ready of all the time especially for Australians as they have experienced earthquakes decades before. They should have knowledge on how to react when the calamity strikes instead of being panic.
