Earth tremor in Melbourne!

  Top of Page

Holy crap! Im sitting here checking out OZlib and the house starts to shake, windows rattle etc. All the dogs in the neighbourhood are going nuts.
A little unnerving I must say.
Any one else notice??
Its only the second one we have felt in this house in over 10 years.
Happened just before 9.00pm. Were in the eastern suburbs.
Cheers

Mark, that's funny mate! Weird that you guys felt it and I didn't though???

Does anyone know if there were "after shocks" later in the night at say about midnight?

I heard some weird noise like a sliding door being opened and the dog went a bit spastic...

Wow .... wonder if it has anything to do with the heat in the ground from the fires you guys have had ? ? ? ?

Maybe the Earth will crack at the edge of the hills and all of Melbourne may end up heading towards Tassie ? ? lol
