One resident Burra said it felt as though a ‘truck hit the house’.

Geoscience Australia seismologist Hugh Glanville told ABC it was the strongest shake to hit the area in the past decade.

There were no reports of property damage, he said.

‘It is possible for minor damage from a magnitude-4 but it’s reasonably unlikely for this earthquake.’
