2023 Melbourne Earthquake 2: Electric Boogaloo

[Engimal v3]

Do you remember where you were when the Earth rumbled?

Narre Warren Hallam here (not Dallas haven't updated yet). Wow that was some shock wave. I thought a tree had fallen on the house

Like 10 min ago!

That woke me up. I could hear the rumbling then the house trembled. Bloody hell!

 

[flamethrower]

Felt it in Williamstown - whole house shook for about 2 seconds, and cat freaked out and hid under bed.

 

[Danw0w]

Felt it in footscray

I knew there'd be a post on BF. There can't be a city in the world so fascinated with its own weather and seizmic events.

According to Geoscience Australia it was a 3.8 magnitude. So nothing. My apartment didn't even really shake, I heard it more than I felt it.

 

[Xtreme]

Yep posted about it in the things that sh.. me thread seconds after it happened

 

[Magpie Since 1986]

There was a big big sound in the west of the town.

 

[Dan]

‘We will rebuild’

"If you want to shake and quiver like that every night, call 1800-SPUD"

Felt it at home in North Blackburn, lasted for about 10 seconds.

Was in my township, I felt it more than heard it then potentially had to dodge something that might fall on my noggin from a shelf as almost 60yo house. My phone alert had it originally at 4.5.

Yeah woke me up, bloody hell. Now sitting in the lounge room soothing the animals while *en vertigo rages within me

 

[Jim Prideaux]

Yup, house rattled like a freight train went by. This made me lol

 

[troybe]

Felt like it was right under down in Franga

 

[Tygrys]

It was totally different to the last big tremor we had. I thought there was an explosion somewhere and we were in the path of the shockwave.

 

[IKnowtheDog]

At first I thought it was the ‘Robot Vikings’, certainly made an impression

 

[nobbyiscool]

Just so we're clear, we're blaming the recent spate of earthquakes on the vaccine, right? Or did I read the memo wrong?

edit: Over 10000 "felt" reports for a sub-4.0 at midnight on Geoscience Australia. Must be a lot of people like me who were just about to give up on this rubbish GP but were still up.

Phones give earthquake alerts?!

 

[spudmaster]

Dew landed in Melbourne for a meeting.

 

[Korn]

How do you sign up for Earthquake alerts to your phone?

I think people are just using the Vic Emergency app that they recommend we all have after the pandemic and a bunch of weather events anyway!

 

[Back One Out]

Nothing like a natural disaster to bring us Melburnians together

Let's hope the aftershocks aren't as bad.
