Residents in two distant parts of Austria were jolted awake by rumbling and rattling glasses after two small earthquakes struck within nine minutes.
The first earthquake occurred at 2:18 a.m. in Lower Austria, about six kilometers west of Ebreichsdorf. It measured 2.5 and was clearly felt around the epicenter.
Nine minutes later, at 2:27 a.m., a magnitude 2.6 earthquake hit Tyrol between the provincial capital Innsbruck and Wattens. Residents said they heard the ground rumble, while some reported that rattling glasses and windows woke them.
GeoSphere Austria said no damage had been reported in either region. The two provinces are far apart, with a minimum straight-line distance of 332.28 kilometers and a driving distance of 430.24 kilometers.
