Lara earthquake: the outskirts of Geelong Nurlan, Koryo shook with a tremor near You Yangs

 


An earthquake shook parts of Geelong on Monday night, as residents of Lara, Koryo, and Norlin reported receiving a slight boom and tremor.

The magnitude 1.8 tremor near You Yangs, around Backus Marsh Road, was recorded at 5.22 pm at a depth of 10 km – considered shallow for earthquakes.

Simon Robins, a Lara resident, said he heard a “sensation” before hitting his home.

“The whole house shook, but it could only last for two seconds,” said Robins.

“It looked like something flew over our heads – it was a little strange.”

Some reported that they felt the earthquake from over 30 kilometers away, extending into St Albans Park and Banukborne.

The chief earthquake scientist in Earth sciences in Australia, Dr. Jonathan Bathgate, said the low-level earthquake was “short and severe.”

“Most of the reports from people were that they could hear it, rather than feel it,” said Dr. Bathgate.

He said that by 7:30 pm yesterday, Geoscience Australia had received nearly 100 reports from the people who felt the earthquake.

The area north of Geelong has experienced eight similar seismic events in the past decade, the most recent in 2018.

But Dr. Bathgate said, although earthquakes in the region are uncommon, they are likely to widen.

“Back in 1977, there was a magnitude 4.7 earthquake not far from this earthquake,” he said.

SES said it had received no reports of damage or calls for assistance after the earthquake.
