Melbourne Eaurthquakes

[brettprevans]

Decent earthquake just came through eastern suburbs Melbourne. Well for Melbourne. Seems to be getting more often and stronger
Interesting topic for those who have any scientific understanding or knowledge. I love physics but it's gonna **** my house.

Yeah, had it down here. Been in a couple in northern and southern California and this was stronger by heaps.

Yeh. This one seemed to last a long time - maybe 20 seconds? May be epicentred out Wonthaggi way like the last one a year or so ago.

Yeah got it over here in Tulla too... quite a long one. Rattled one of my empty beer bottles off of the shelf!

 

[Steve@PMF82]

Yeah got it out here as well.
Freaked me out, never experienced that sensation before, whole house moved and shook for a good 5 -7 seconds.

We're at Foster and it was the biggest one I've ever felt, went for at least 20 seconds just a slow quiet rumble that built up louder and stronger as it went like a big wave rolling up the beach. Couldn't have been far off, if it was from Korumburra are its certainly the bigest that's been in a long time but reckon it felt like it was rolling up from the south maybe the Prom area.

Maybe proximity to the divide? Nothing here...

 

[Wolfy]

It seemed to be one of the strongest and longest that I've ever noticed.

For info about it, at least the US gov website is working: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/rec.../usb000ajek.php
Since ours is not: http://www.seis.com.au/

Thought it was one of the kids jumping around upstairs. Then I remembered I'd put them to bed an hour ago...

[1974Alby]

didnt feel it here...but thought we heard one of the kids walking in the hall at about the right time, went to investigat but nothing there...could be ghosts...or maybe the quake...or maybe ghosts running away from the quake?

 

[Nibbo]

Didn't make it here...

 

[donburke]
