we would have no idea that there had been any earthquakes.
It was on the news and there are collections being taken at the shopping centres and on street corners, but other than that, there is no indication at all that anything had happened.
It's a bit like a cyclone hitting the north coast of WA, which happens every year because they are in cyclone prone areas. However, if it weren't for media coverage, we would be none the wiser in Perth.
