Earth tremor felt in parts of KZN
Updated | By ECR Newswatch
Residents across Durban and parts of Pietermaritzburg have just felt the earth move.
It happened shortly after 11h00.
The tremor, which lasted no more than 10 seconds, was felt in areas including Durban North, Umhlanga, Phoenix, Overport, La Mercy and Kloof.
Others in Howick in the Midlands and Umkomaas on the south coast say they also experienced it.
Many have taken to social media to describe how various objects in their homes started shaking, while some say their entire houses shook.
One woman wasn't sure what was happening and thought she was losing her mind.
Here is what some residents have shared on twitter about the #EarthTremor:
