Some New South Wales residents have woken up this morning to feel their house shaking this morning as a 3.9 magnitude earthquake struck.
The Seismology Research Centre reports the quake hit at Taralga, around 36 kilometres north of Goulburn in the NSW Southern Tablelands, at 6.41am on Thursday morning.
Ian, who lives in Crookwell, which is around 19 kilometre east of the earthquake’s epicentre, told 2GB host Ben Fordham he was in the shower when he felt “a rumble”
“To me it was just like a rumble, like a big train and then it just hit and the walls shook and the floors shook in the shower and I quickly wrapped the towel around me,” he said.
Marion, who lives just outside Goulburn, said was still in bed when the earthquake hit.
“I was just waking up and I felt my bed shaking and all my windows were shaking,” she told 2GB.
