A 4.1 magnitude earthquake was recorded in Muswellbrook a little after 1pm today.

The quake has caused more than 2500 homes and businesses to lose power in Muswellbrook, Denman, Jerry’s Plains, Bureen and Bengalla.

Ausgrid crews have been working to restore power which is expected to be back up and running by 2:30pm.

Today’s quake comes after a 4.8 magnitude earthquake saw thousands lose power in Muswellbrook on August 23.
