Quake measuring 4.1 hits off NSW coast

Sodden NSW Central Coast residents will be relieved to know that no tsunami is expected following a 4.1 earthquake recorded offshore from Gosford.

The quake, recorded just after 10am on Tuesday, lasted less than a second, according to Geoscience Australia.

It was estimated to be at a depth of zero kilometres, and comes after days of torrential rain battered the coastline.
