NT Earthquake 30 May

A 5.4 magnitude earthquake hit the Northern Territory today.

The quake hit about 11.56am local time in the Tanami Desert, about 100km west of the remote community of Willowra.

A resident of Willowra told The NT News that the tremors had scared her because she had never felt an earthquake before.

“It was rough and lasted about a minute but the force knocked my fan over,” Tashiana Williams said.

It was estimated that the quake could have been felt by those 252km away from the epicentre.
