Title: Earth tremor in Melbourne
Post by: brickiematt on January 13, 2014, 03:02:39 PM

Anyone else feel the earth tremor today just before 4pm. Pretty big bugger. Could hear a deep rumbling for about 5 seconds then the house moved, not a little bit but quite a lot. Lasted about 15-20 seconds all up.
Scared the sh!t out of the dog!
