Wasn't just me then.

I thought animals were supposed to be 'aware' of this stuff - both cats fast asleep still.

Just wait... the media will find a way to make this Rann's fault. By Monday there will be a new earthquake minster.

Hmmm talk about a political shake up....

This site shows recient earthquakes: http://webmap.ga.gov.au/imf-natural_hazard...ards_earthquake You can follow the link on the right to fill out a form reporting that you felt it. That site is very slow at the moment, here is the text version: http://www.ga.gov.au/earthquakes/ and a map: http://www.ga.gov.au/bin/earthquake.pl?tit...lm&zoom=500

What you felt was a magnitude 3.8 quake, details are:
Earthquake Details Date 16 Apr 2010 Time (UTC) 13:57:26 Latitude -35.15 Longitude 138.84 Magnitude 3.8 Depth (km) 0 Location Near Mt Barker, SA Felt (km) 51 Damage (km)


Has been reported to have been felt up to 51km away from the epicenter. It says it was a surface quake, get ready for another 2.6 magnitude one at 1057pm tonight! (my attenpt at predicting an aftershock )

Last weekend I setup an earthquake email notification at http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/ They are reporting it as magnitude 3.3. This one was below my auto notification level of 5.3 atm.

I would be more worried about this solar event being the cause of such disruptions and movements.

*packs the Bug Out Bag just in case*

Wow! think I'll be turning off the pc tonight - might also freeze some water for the brew fridge just incase the blackout in US of 15 years or so ago hit AU tomorrow.

AURORA WATCH: High latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras. A coronal mass ejection (CME) is expected to deliver a glancing blow to Earth's magnetic field on April 17th. NOAA forecasters estimate a ~30% chance of geomagnetic activity when the cloud arrives.

So a coronal mass ejection, huge meteorite in US, earthquake in SA and also a 5.6 quake 1560km south of hobart on 12 april all in one week!

I'm starting to wonder about this whole 2012 thing.....There does seem to be a large amount of random occurrences lately, earthquakes, mini tsunamis, volcanic reactions etc etc.


Might have to start stocking up on beer, as a clean alternative to water it may come in handy....

and slept through it all

I didn't even stop brushing my teeth. Was a slight rumble at our place for 5 seconds maybe.

There only seems to be more because you're thinking about it.

 

[Pollux]

Or perhaps it's due to the fact our international news is simply covering more events........

Depending on whether or not you specified locations for your warnings, you just got an e-mail about this one...

http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/rec...ci14745580.html

Magnitude: 5.7
Date-Time: Tuesday, June 15, 2010 at 04:26:58 UTC (Monday, June 14, 2010 at 09:26:58 PM at epicenter)
Location: 32.698N, 115.924W (approx. Ocotillo, CA, USA)
Depth: 6.9 km (4.3 miles)

How do I know this? I'm about 100km from there (San Diego, CA, USA) and it still shook this place pretty well. I slept through the 4.something last night. I knew nothing exciting ever happened in Adelaide.

Clearly nothing exciting is happening where you're staying either.

Well, not at 9:30 at night when I have a meeting and yet another flight tomorrow. Besides, this IS a business trip after all, though one might not think so if they find the trail of empties I've left along the way.
