inark Posted March 6, 2009 Author Share Posted March 6, 2009 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/259936-woooo-a-decent-earthquake/#findComment-4462710 Share on other sites More sharing options...

inark Posted March 6, 2009 Author Share Posted March 6, 2009 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/259936-woooo-a-decent-earthquake/#findComment-4462716 Share on other sites More sharing options...

To make roads move it has to be in the 4.x mark from memory 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.
