Phew nice to know I'm not dreaming these things....

C ockatoo is what probably about 30km's (wild guess...) from Pakenham so whatever it was it was fairly big I guess, thinking mini earthquake still...

Yeah I have felt them before a couple of times but not like this.

I'm in Mount Evelyn and felt it.

Heard on the radio it was an earth tremour, epicentre 15km NE of Dandy, between 3.5 and 4 on the reichter scale.

xdc351 · 08-03-2007, 03:33 PM

Yeah felt in Croydon.... Crazy stuff!

xdc351 · 08-03-2007, 03:35 PM

oh ok thanks, i wonder how powerful that is relatively compared to a nasty one and also compared to a really small tremour like I've felt before?..

It's a strange sensation isn't it. At first i thought it was a truck going past or something, but there was no noise really. Went for a while too..

I've felt little ones before, but never known what they were till heard later on news or something and thought, oh yeah i remember a strange shaking..

Would be quite an experience being in a big one, not that i would want to be.

If one more person says "did the earth move for you?"...

Yeah at first I had no idea what it was but when it kept going I knew, I am the same as you in the past I have felt them but thought almost nothing of it at the time.

My missus says "did the earth move for you?" every night so I guess I'm used to it....

Update: It struck at 1.34pm in the Bunyip State Park, 70km east of Melbourne.

Glad they clarified that... I was thinking I must have been pretty much standing on it if it was 15kms NE of Danynong!

So are all the continents moving the same way or are we going to have a head on! Actually I think it's the plates that move isn't it which means anything could happen.... I guess I won't be around to worry about it probably have to move a few thousand kms so um 2000 km = 200000000 cm/7 = 28.5 million years.... yeah pretty sure I won't live that long lol. BTW if the math is wrong i don't want to know ok
