An earthquake of magnitude 5.9 struck near Melbourne in southern Australia on Wednesday, according to Geoscience Australia.
The quake, which was one of the country’s biggest on record, caused some damage to buildings as it hit the country’s second-most populous city on Wednesday.
In a tweet on Wednesday morning, the Victorian State Emergency Service’s (VICSES News) Twitter account said the earthquake’s epicenter had been near Mansfield in the state of Victoria, about 124 miles (200km) northeast of Melbourne.
Originally the Australian government had registered the earthquake at a magnitude of 6 but subsequently downgraded it slightly to 5.9. The US Geological Survey also put the quake at magnitude 5.9.
Images and video footage showed rubble blocking one of Melbourne’s main streets and damage to some buildings in the city. The jolt also disrupted power lines in the central business district, where some people could be seen on the streets following the quake.
Melbourne residents described their shock and surprise as houses across the city began to shake, in a city which has not had an earthquake of a similar size in decades. There have been no reports of injuries so far. There were no reports of damage or injuries outside Melbourne.
“We have had no reports of serious injuries, or worse, and that is very good news and we hope that good news will continue,” said Mr Morrison.
The temblor was so strong it was felt as far away as Adelaide in South Australia, 800 kilometers (500 miles) away, and Sydney in New South Wales, more than 900 kilometers (600 miles) away.
“There is no tsunami threat” VICSES News said in a tweet. Geoscience Australia said there was an aftershock following the earthquake measuring about 4.0 in magnitude, less than half an hour after the initial shock.
Quakes are a relatively unusual occurrence in Australia’s populated east due to its position in the middle of the Indo-Australian Tectonic Plate.
“It can be a very disturbing event, an earthquake of this nature. They are very rare events in Australia and as a result, I am sure people would have been quite distressed and disturbed.”
Wednesday’s tremor measured higher than the country’s deadliest tremor, a 5.6-magnitude earthquake in Newcastle in 1989, which caused 13 deaths.
The country’s worst earthquake ever was in 1988 in the Northern Territory, which measured only 6.6 magnitude, according to Geoscience Australia.

The AUKUS annunciated ,alliance,and earthquake happen ,coincidence!?
Very suspicious timing. Massive Rebellion yesterday, with police turning tail. Then a large shallow earthquake occurs. Coincidence? Or is it planned by the satanic elitists to quell rioting? I checked fault lines around that area. There are fault lines that are mapped. Historically, there have been smaller quakes and one larger quake.
Perhaps God Almighty is sending tyrants a message, like when that lightning bolt hit the (false idol) St. Floyd mural, which was painted on a cement wall.
Yesterday, the Aussi-Stasi arrested people smuggling KFC food into Auckland against lockdown rules. Six months jail time. If that isn’t tyranny, then what is?
At least the protesters have an ample supply of bricks laying about to chuck at tyrants.

Meanwhile, F biden is shjtbombing America with a retardpocalypse at taxpayer’s expense.
You can expect crime like car jacking, dope crimes, rape, burglary, murder, and no prosecution. Similar to what Europe experiences.

Here’s an example of the type of crap we can expect from these miscreants.
Yesterday, the cretins hijacked a bus, and injured border patrol agents.

Pictures of mural destroyed by lightning. Bullseye too. Last time I checked, bricks do not conduct electricity. It would be premature to say it was a message from God, but it sure looks supernatural. That’s the thing, you can’t jump to conclusions; however, under the circumstances it is tempting.

Here’s a good example of a reporter/journalist. He gets up close and in your face too.
Then juxtapose his professional behavior against the lamestream media buttclowns.
Big difference and it’s obvious.

More from Australia. It seems the riot police are using rubber bullets on unarmed protestors. Also bush-whacking and shooting people in the back.
That’s what happens in Mass Rebellion. The evil forces know they are outnumbered, so they resort to escalating violence. Those tall buildings could be problematic for gestapo/stasi types though. They could be drawn down a corridor, and have rocks dropped on them, or worse.
This will escalate to severe civil anarchy soon. Worldwide probably too. It’s how government is toppled, and marxist tyrants destroy society. They force Mass Rebellion on purpose. Then the UN comes in and more tyrannical crap happens.
That’s exactly what is planned for America. Europe too. It’s all about One-Worldism and the enslavement of humanity.
It’s caused from all the protesters stomping their feet against forced vaccinations! Ahaha
Did you light a bean fart again?
dammit, ya got me there.
