Still reported as 6 at the epicentre. Strength was a 4 by the time it reached Melbourne. Think that a 5 would have felt 10 times stronger.Now downgraded to a 4.0

Have seen some pictures of shops that lost similar parapet walls onto the street in the older inner-city suburbs. When you stop and look at the overall structure of a parapet wall. A bit fragile. Not made for untoward conditions. We had one of those buildings lose it's parapet onto people standing below, here in Hobart a couple of years ago in high winds.Well he has put all the tradies out of work.
Chapel St.
I'm very close to there. Can confirm. It was full on for about 40 seconds.Mate at Mordialloc said "the walls were swaying like a tent in the wind".
