Earthquake

According to Geoscience Australia, the details were:

Date 06/03/2009
Time (UTC) 09:55:37
Latitude -38.39
Longitude 145.79
Depth (km) 8
Magnitude 4.6
Location N of Korumburra Vic

I used to think earthquakes were a bit of a novelty, but after experiencing the Kansai earthquake in Japan in which over 6000 people died, they now scare the shit out of me.

 

[Staunch]

Yeah, I'm in brunswick.

My computer screen shook like crazy and my back door was rattling alot, I though WTF and didn't realised what it was for a while.
