[Heropsychodreamer]

Oh my god... i've learnt so much about Earthquakes tonight!

 

[TheGroop]

Pykie you are wrong, there was a tremor in melbourne about 30 years ago.

 

[NSWCROW]

Not much chance of that happening again anytime soon .

 

[NSWCROW]

Warragamba being filled that is !!

Oh my god... i've learnt so much about Earthquakes tonight!

exactly, when i have a kid im just going to shove him on big footy, and he will pick up life skills, like how earthquakes happen, and how collingwood are scum, and eagles are a cultureless club

 

[spell_check]

Oh, so the Melbourne Tremor is not a new name for a sports team?

Apparently Adelaide is supposed to be the most prone capital city for earthquakes in Australia.

 

[Cursed Cat]

I felt it, here in South Caulfield. A mate in St. Kilda felt it too. Lasted a few seconds or so.

yeah I'm just east of St. Kilda, we felt it too and thought it was the idiots downstairs playing funnybuggers
It did cross my mind though, I remember experiencing one somewhere around 1983 (??)

Pykie you are wrong, there was a tremor in melbourne about 30 years ago.

that could've been the one, it was about 25 years ago though I reckon, maybe less ..

wat the??? Where did the Perth rumour come in??

It isn't a rumour. A quake hit just off perth last night aparantly. It was 6.1 on the richter.

Theres new reports now that another tremor hit 138km south east of Melbourne about an hour after the first one. It's believed to be a magnitude of 2.8. Strange. It's unusuall for 2 to go in like a couple of hours.

 

[The Hobo]

hmm i cant find anything on the perth quake

 

[Johnson#26]

Apparantly a little too deep to be really felt. 3AW report that they've been going on all over the region.

 

[campbell]

2.5, thats nothing.
What was the one that caused the tsunami?or the one in newcastle?

You know it's said that the people who brag that they have a big d*ck actually have a really tiny one.

A small earthquake occurred beneath the suburb of Caulfield, about 8 km southeast of the city of Melbourne. It was felt in the southeast suburbs of Melbourne, including Clayton, St Kilda, Elsternwick and South Yarra, with some reports from beyond Dandenong. It was too small to cause any damage.

Yep, I felt it here in North Caulfield.

Was standing upstairs and then heard a huge rumbling. Then felt the house shake a bit. Thought the possums were having a party on the roof or something originally, but then thought it had to be more than that.

Gave me a bit of a fright, wasn't expecting it that's for sure

 

[tugga]

Epicentre was Caulfield I think. Happened 8km beneath the earth's surface.

Would have been better if it managed to swallow up all of those suburbs imo.

 

[rfctigerarmy]

Cool. I live about 5 km's from Caulfield and heard nothing.

Anti-climatic.

Is my the correct pro-noun to use when you're talking about Brock's wang?

Same here. I heard about it at around 9 today and was wondering what people were talking about.

 

[Renegade]

I was on the observation deck of the Rialto an hour earlier, would have dropped a fair log in my pants if something happened while up there that could have caused some damage.

 

[Bombers 2003]

Its basically impossible for Melbourne to have an earthquake, there are no major plate boundaries near melbourne, nor near Australia for that matter, the nearest major plate boundary is that running straight through the middle of New Zealand, and the edge of the ring of fire, near Indonesia, the other possibility is a volcanic intrusion through the continental plate from the mantle, which has only happened a few times in the last few hundred million years, the most famous being the creation of the Hawaiin Islands.

Who told you that crap?
