In Addition:

MELBOURNE (AFP) – An earthquake shook Australia’s second largest city, Melbourne, for the second time in a fortnight Wednesday, rocking buildings and dislodging furniture.

The 4.5 magnitude quake struck at 4:28pm (0528 GMT) some 100 kilometres (62 miles) southeast of the city, the Seismology Research Centre said, in almost exactly the same spot as a March 6 quake.

The centre said its magnitude and depth of 10 kilometres meant it was unlikely to cause major damage.

“This earthquake has been felt widely throughout the epicentral region and across Melbourne,” the centre said on its website

I’m sure it drives liberals crazy to know that they can’t impose taxes on mother nature when this kind of thing happens.

Climate change cannot be debated. This island proves it. After the volcano creates an island, us evil SUV drivers will bury it with melted glaciers and acid rain.
