The Earthquake thread! Anybody?

Okay, who felt the earthquake and what was your experience? Could this possibly be the end of the earth as we know it, or should we just leave that one to Covid?

Sorry guys but You haven't rocked my world!

Hope all our Melbourne members are ok.

Was pretty strong here, house was making some sad noises.

Older stuff in the city looks to have suffered a bit

Hopefully those at the epicentre up in the hills are OK.

All within the impacted areas should be aware there may be aftershocks.
So best to stay on your toes and away from damaged buildings

news reporting even some parts of SA felt it.

Seeing lots of comments from my Vic colleagues about force of the shocks.

Be aware, there are only five reasons to leave your home, and an earthquake isn’t one of them!

Newcastle 1989, I was working at Tomago (about 10km from where all the damage occurred) when we heard a huge explosion and the building felt like it moved about a 300mm upwards and down again.
We all raced outside looking for the remains of a RAAF Mirage sticking out of a smoking hole, but nothing to see there.

The Workers Club was a rat hole of additions and alterations, it is a wonder that more people were not killed there.

We felt the first and second. Triggered an evacuation with the building swaying. So far haven't heard of any casualties
