Apparently an earthquake shook most of victoria a few minutes ago.  Friends on facebook are going crazy talking about it.

 

We didn't feel  a thing here.  Did anyone here feel anything?

The quake had its epicentre in Moe (Gippsland) - felt here in Dandenong quite strongly as we are only about 100km away.  Mum and Dad felt it at Thornton (near Eildon).

Gday...

Currently in Gippsland (Sale) ... and about 85km from the epicentre. The van shook considerably and I thought someone was outside the van shaking it.

At the time I did not realise it was the earthquake until the radio told me this morning.

Oh yeah ... and it was -1degC this morning - heavy frost covering everything. The condensation on the UNDERSIDE of my awning was FROZEN!no

Tell me again why I bother coming down here hmm

Cheers - John

A friend in Melbourne posted this on facebook...

Holy shakin' earthquake Batman, did anyone else just feel the Earth move?

I had a good chuckle after I found out that they were fine.
