[inark]

Where are you and how much did you feel it.

Im in Moorabbin at the moment... shook my work pretty good.

[RCHOO]

I did ..mad im in Dandy at moment

[Phatboy]

Was anyone outside/driving?

[inark]

if you were outside driving you probably wouldnt feel it... dont think it was big enough.

the only time i experienced an earthquake while driving (being driven) was in NZ and the roads started rolling like a wave, was pretty awesome as a kid, would probably shit a brick if it happened to me now

Lasted about 5secs in F/tree gully....the walls moved.

Wow - that's decent.

Seems like the epicentre was in eastern suburbs then.

Melb S/E... my whole house was shaking!!! never felt anything like it!

[inark]

If you can get to it http://www.seis.com.au/EQ/Earthquakes.html - i believe its already on there. Was only in the 2.x range so not that bad. To make roads move it has to be in the 4.x mark from memory

I felt it in frankston, the windows were shaking and it was shaking me in my chair.

Felt it out here in west gippsland, past Pakenham. Sounded like thunder, then roof rattled, then house shook back and forth for 5-10 seconds...... Interseting sensation

D'oh - can't get onto website. I guess too many people visiting.

Had a quick look at the Richter scaling on wikipedia. It's interesting that they grade it a 2 something, as from the description (indoor items rattling, etc) it sounds more like a low 4?? Maybe seis have their own grading protocol.

keysborough. heard thunder and felt all the shaking. all the windows upstairs rattled

[inark]

Nah, definately not a 4. Your shit would be falling off walls and your whole house would feel like someone just shook it like a baby back in 1925

[Mean_R34]

Felt it in Bentleigh. Thought my BBQ was blowing up. Then ran to check the dorrs. Thought someone was shaking the house. Looking back I feel like a goose! haha

Friends in Caulfield, Ringwood and Pakenham felt it. Friends in Werribee didn't.

[THR34T]

in knox/wanny suoth area. it lasted for about 5-6 seconds/ felt it go right through the house. was up in my room im like wtf theres an army of possums on the roof again. felt mega weird

[SABBAi]

Felt it in Scoresby. The window was rattling, thought my air compressor kicked in. Then the floor started shaking.

was a wtf moment for sure.

[inark]

hahha possums.

my wife rang her mum before and asked if she felt it... her reply was "what? of course, i had it with my coffee"

silly old wog.

thought she was calling at 9pm to see if she ate her cake lol

she didnt even notice (Noble Park)... even her brother just thought a truck was going past the house.

[THR34T]
