2023 Melbourne Earthquake 2: Electric Boogaloo

[StFly]

Phones give earthquake alerts?!

Yep, got a full page spread, already got rid of it though but it showed estimated magnitude where it potentially was and to check gas, windows and structural things and vacate if you think the house is not structurally sound. Oh and put shoes on if you walk around just in case, gotta protect the toes you know.

Earthquakega on twitter puts it at close to Mickelham at Oaklands Junction though. But on my end I did have to shift some glasses onto of shelves as they moved forward, and my old mans charger almost fell straight off the bench when I got up out of bed. So I had to check things and it's goddamn cold outside.

Two floors up in Balaclava, that was a decent shake, no way I'm sleeping after that lol

Just so we're clear, we're blaming the recent spate of earthquakes on the vaccine, right? Or did I read the memo wrong?

edit: Over 10000 "felt" reports for a sub-4.0 at midnight on Geoscience Australia. Must be a lot of people like me who were just about to give up on this rubbish GP but were still up.

Yup still watching haha. 20 laps to go...we can do it!

I think people are just using the Vic Emergency app that they recommend we all have after the pandemic and a bunch of weather events anyway!

Nah, got the alert about 2 seconds before the house shook

Government conspiracy to generate social media clicks and comments I reckon

Yeah. I got this at literally the time my house was shaking.

Felt it in Ascot Vale last night. The earthquake woke me up. My first ever earthquake experience.

 

[Wosh]

Good footage here, turn the sound up

People are ridiculous.

My building's FB group, which might average one post a week, has 3 posts asking "did anyone feel that". No dickhead it was just you.

Local good karma group is the same. "Did anyone feel an earthquake" x4.

Do people not know about twitter? Do they not know about the Vic Emergency app or Geoscience Australia?

Such deadshits.

 

[Gough]

Has anyone blamed it on Covid yet?

My new phone sent me an alert. My old phone two years ago didn't. I guess it didn't like me as much.

Didn't feel a thing and I was on my phone at the time. Back home, tornado alerts were the thing.

Hmmm. Sounds like the mrs who wanted her mr to do role play thing again where he burst through the door wearing a mask and ravaged her.

Except the mr never done that before

 

[Korn]

Another one ?

 

[peternorth]

Yeah!!!!!!

 

[Cyber_punk]

I'm used to Possums running on the garage and fence every night which causes a rumbling but then the room started vibrating a bit.

 

[peternorth]

It was the vaccines

 

[nobbyiscool]

Nothing in my Thornbury apartment building this time. Last month it was very noticeable, more from the noise than any actual shaking.

4.6 in Rawson says Geoscience Australia.

Also in Thornbury, just heard window rattling, thought someone was trying to break in. No house shaking or anything though

 

[Corn Cobbers]

Not as big as the last one but still woke me up, Balaclava

They're getting more frequent!

I knew I wasn’t going crazy when my building swayed at 1am
