VIC Members - Anyone feel this?

We did, and we're miles away. Matthew was in a chair in the rumpus room sitting on a concrete floor. He felt sideways motion for a couple of seconds. I was in the main part of the house on a wooden floor. House sort-of shook and the doorframe I was passing creaked slightly.

Matthew was pretty shaken by it (emotionally as well as physically), I was more bemused...fire wind rain and now this, what's next famine and pestilence? :?

Got it well and truly here in Williamstown. My little wooden shack shook and the glasses and crockery in the cabinet rattled and shook! :shock: It felt like a truck had run into the house! :shock:

We felt it here in Bendigo, was sitting on the couch watching TV when the couch started rocking side to side, quite funny really when your on a concrete floor and the only one on the couch!!!

Found this last night and it confirmed it was a quake.

I'm in Rowville, eastern suburbs. As soon as the dog went nuts and the rumble started, I knew it was an earth tremour....a bit weird to say the least......

No need to Panic !
Quite simple explaination really . I was sitting in front of the tele and Stace had commented on how he was feeling a bit toey . Needless to say he disappeared into his bedroom at around 9.00pm .
Next thing the doors and windows are rattling and then all quiet again .
I just turned the tele up loud . :roll:
Halls Gap regulars are used to this type of seismic activity , HG newbies , you have been warned . :twisted:


Mick , dont let Matthew know the real reason , he will be emotionally scared for life !
Ummmm let me see
