The following item was just posted on the Gladstone Observer website.
Hmmm… What I difference a few little letters can make…
A 5.4 magnitude quake has hit near Bowen Queensland, and was felt from Airlie beach, down to Townsville.
Just eighteen minutes later, a 5.2 magnitude quake hit Christchurch in New Zealand.
According to the The US genealogical survey, the first earthquake struck 124km southeast of Townsville at 3:31pm today, April 16, and is the biggest to have hit Queensland in a number of years.

Let’s see how long it takes them to update and correct it. [grin]
For crying out loud! I had to read it three times before I realized something was wrong.
Well, at least they spelled genealogical correctly.
Maybe they think the earthquake was caused by a bunch of ancestors rolling over in their graves.
