Earthquake rocks WA's North West

According to GeoScience Australia the earthquake started offshore about 1.30pm between Port Hedland and Broome and registered as a magnitude 6.6 event.

"The Meckering earthquake 50 years ago was a magnitude six, so the earthquake that occurred this afternoon is significantly larger than the last one. I think there's been one or two in recorded history that are larger than the earthquake that occurred today in WA, but not that many.The 1968 Meckering earthquake registered a 6.5 magnitude, and over 60 homes were damaged by the shock, with the the railway line twisting and water pipes bursting as a result.

Billy-Jo Freeman in Kununurra said she was sitting on the couch when she felt it rocking side-to-side."The pedestal fan was shaking and my water bottle was too," she said. "I'm on the second storey so I didn't know if I was going crazy or not until my husband agreed the house was shaking a little.Amanda Tassone in Tom Price said she thought the quake was an iron ore train travelling through the area.

"But this earthquake lasted for about 40 seconds, [and I] didn't realise it was a earthquake till I looked at my phone." "There are several quite large earthquakes that occur in and around WA this is the largest that will have happened for a considerable period of time.
