A strong Magnitude 5.9 earthquake has struck the center of AUSTRALIA! The rare and powerful earthquake came without warning, jolting the Northern Territory at 2:14 PM eastern US time today (May 20).

It is very unusual and extremely rare that any earthquake strikes the continent of Australia. To have one of this magnitude hit without warning is almost unprecedented!

The quake was quite shallow, taking place at only ten kilometers depth, so it was felt very strongly. It registered an “8” on the Mercali shaking index, meaning the perceived shaking was “strong” and there is potential for “moderate-heavy damage.”

Fortunately, that region of Australia is lightly populated, so we do not yet have any reports of injuries or deaths.
