Did we just have an earthquake?

I liked Titus O’Reilly’s comment that he fully expects Mt Dandenong to erupt some time today.

Incredible today’s shake was strong as the quake that rocked Newcastle in 1989.

Just lucky the epicentre wasn’t in metro Melbourne.

We had to evacuate the building. Weird experience even watching two light poles near The Dump shake. I thought I was going to have a seizure. I thought this would've come from Moe/Morwell epicentre as they always are. How did Mansfield get this?

The Victorian Alps are young in a geological sense and have faults running through them.

What a shame the dump didn't collapse. I know starting an earthquake is an extreme measure to take by RFC management, to ensure we never have to play a home match there again. But you can only tell the AFL non-brains trust so many times that it isn't our home ground, without them listening, before a club needs to take matters into it's own hands.

True. Isn't it due for a re-construction?

Yep. Happened at 4:00am when most were sleeping and no time to run out. Bloody terrible.
 
Did anyone else just feel the earthquake just now in Vic?

My house shook (not for long) down here on the peninsula so I guess those of you nearer to the city would have felt it a lot more

Seems like it was north of the city where it hit.

I'm in the north. Felt and sounded like the roof was about to collapse.
