I was in Mendi for the Madang earthquake in PNG in 1970. It was at about 0400. It woke me up and was still going long enough to recognise what it was and seriously consider whether under the bed was safer than in it. In the event there was no significant damage in Mendi, but damage was extensive in Madang, including wrecking the airport's runway and destrying every masonry building in town. Closest I ever want to be to an earthquake!
Fortunately, significant ones are fairly rare everywhere in Australia, although there are a few every year somewhere - but you don't hear about them unless they are close to a town. Same thing with tornadoes - not uncommon here (there have been two on my place since 1993 when I moved here), but really most of Australia is almost uninhabited!
This morning we are greeted by the news that if you want to drive to Sydney via Orange - you can't, due to the combination of a truck accident at Raglan and snow. More snow is expected today, I believe.
