8-10 minutes??? ppl in sunshine reported felt it too, but as I was in Brimbank Central keeping the in-laws entertained while they shopped at Miller's & Payless really puts me to sleep till I felt nothing about the earthquake...

or perhaps it was the beer I had after work... I was pretty drowsy and bored there at that time

hahaha shit it makes sense now!

I was in the cinema at 9pm and i felt someone kicking my chair for like 5 seconds. Turns out it was the earthquake shaking the chair haha. Was about to tell the guy off but he was too busy looking behind him haha

Hahaha that's classic!

My mum came into my room and told me to turn my music down because the bass was shaking all the windows. My sound system was fried in a power surge earlier in the week... ;)

She's a real smart one.

Im in Thomastown, was working on the car with my old man when everything just started shaking. Never felt anything like it before. We were actually in the car and it felt like a lowrider! hahaha. To top things off we heard the lady next door screaming like someone was about to kill her! LMAO Didnt really know what was happening, but pretty wired 5 seconds or so.. ;)

We felt it in Port Melb. I thought it was just the cat scratching the sofa like they do occasionally where they start pulling at it. Jumped on the Herald Sun site and was quite surprised to see what it really was :)

I didnt know what to do so i just kept on ebaying haha

Lol, yeah that's exactly what I continued to do :)

The general public get trained to respond to different natural emergencies depending on where they live. We get trained in bushfires as that's what happens here, not earthquakes. In Japan and Taiwan, most of the public are well trained to respond to earthquakes.
