We've heard people describe a loud bang this morning before they were abruptly woken up
00:06
on their Saturday mornings at about 6 a.m. A few pictures falling off walls, some people
00:11
reporting floorboards moving and a few cracks appearing, but it certainly hasn't dampened
00:16
spirits. I reckon most of town is here at the very first TV and movie nostalgia festival
00:21
and certainly a lot of visitors from across the Hunter End much further. It's a festival
00:25
here celebrating all the good movies and TV shows we love from decades gone past. It
00:31
certainly hasn't worried people. The people we've spoken to here, locals in particular,
00:35
saying it's just another one and there's a bit of an eye roll, certainly concerns the
00:40
4.7 that was then revised to a 4.5 magnitude this morning. Certainly a timely reminder
00:46
for people to be safe and vigilant around their homes, but it doesn't seem to be worrying
00:50
them too much. Here's what Emergency Services Minister had to say earlier.
00:55
The advice is of course, you know, you feel the shake, making sure that you stay away
01:00
from any structures, try and get yourself out into an open area and, you know, don't
01:05
put yourself in a position where if something is moved it could then cause damage to yourself.
01:10
Homes can be replaced, buildings can be fixed, roads can be fixed, but human lives can't
01:15
be replaced, so always look to protect yourself.
01:20
There were reports of two and a half thousand customers being without power this morning.
01:23
We understand that that's been fully restored as of midday today, but like I said, lots
01:28
of people on the ground, not too worried about what's happened in the early hours of this
01:32
morning.
01:33
I literally woke up, my bed was shaking side to side and my windows were rattling, it was
01:37
crazy.
01:38
I was really confused and one of my paintings fell off the wall as well.
01:41
Yeah, having a good lay in this morning, then there was a bang which woke me up and then
01:46
everything just shook, everything in the bedroom and it all started shaking. Dogs went ballistic.
01:52
Yeah, it was madness yet again.
01:53
It was just a bit of a shaky wake up really.
01:58
Just sort of woke up, heard a bit of a rumble and saw some stuff in our room just wobbling
02:03
a little bit.
02:04
I guess we're kind of getting a bit immune to it because we've had a few going on.
02:08
Yes, a little bit immune to it, but hopefully, they tell me they want the shake rattling
02:13
and rolling to stick to the dance floor for the afternoon and hopefully no more tremors
02:16
here in Mussabrook.
02:21
Yeah.
02:22
Yeah.
02:23
Yeah.
02:24
Yeah.
02:25
Yeah.
