KZN reacts to earthquake Posted by Anita Froneman on 31 October 2019 KwaZulu-Natal residents were shaken by a tremor of 4.3-magnitude at 1:19pm today, 31 October, on the south coast. The quake was felt in around Durban, Amanzimtoti, Port Shepstone, Hibberdene and Pietermaritzburg. According to SAPeople contributor Thea Venter, her whole house shook. She was at her seaside home in Athlone Park, near Amzimtoti on the south coast, when the earthquake struck. ‘It was so scary. House shook and windows rattled. Thought my house was going down into the ocean! We are not used to this,’ she said. The tremor is believed to have occurred following an earthquake in the southern Philippines that measured 6.5 on the Richter scale, according to News24. No injuries have been reported so far and it didn’t take long for South Africans to see the humourous side of the tremor and post their thoughts on social media. Had to go outside to check if it was really an earthquake or Prakash was revving his GTI. #durbantremor — Irshad K (@IrshadAFC7) October 31, 2019 Just felt the Rand crash here in Durban #Tremor #DurbanTremor #RandCrash — Antonie Fourie (@antonieconsult) October 31, 2019 #earthquake #tremor happened in Durban but Xhosa people outside KZN province already tweeting “SBWL tremor Care package from bae coz I am traumatized “! pic.twitter.com/pASCILMN6Y — Malcolm X (@Tall_DarkUgly) October 31, 2019 Image: Pexels Related Posts Cape Town’s sustainability: Leading the way in environmental initiatives 1 June 2023 As National Environmental Month commences in South Africa, Cape Town stands proudly at the forefront... read more Kapama to host Safari Guide of the Year Awards 2023 1 June 2023 Kapama Private Game Reserve near Hoedspruit will host this year’s Safari Guide of the Year... read more Blood Lions relaunches for public viewing on YouTube 1 June 2023 Award-winning documentary feature film Blood Lions has been relaunched on YouTube for public viewing, creating... read more PREV ARTICLE NEXT ARTICLE
