September 22, 20214 yr Hope all of our friends in Melbourne are fine following the earthquake. Looks like a 5.8 but this is the largest earthquake in Australia for centuries as this is not a normal place for these to happen. Looks like a lot of historical properties are gone for good after this as they were not designed to withstand an earthquake of this size, this will mean further job losses, business losses and people displaced from homes and apartments, Melbourne has been through a lot already, tough times ahead Matthew Kane I'm Dyslexic, what's an error to you is not to me
September 22, 20214 yr Yeah i was in bed and around 9-930amish my windows were shuddering. Now my windows normally shudder because the place i live is well not very sturdy. So i thought it might be a dog resting on the wall having a scratch. But nope was defiantly a EQ shudder. Everyday an adventure. Oh and i dont live in Melbourne. I'm North in Bendigo 175km away.

September 22, 20214 yr My family in the area felt it and while they were surprised, it wasn't bad for them. According to one report, Australia gets earthquakes like this about once every ten years. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-58646917 https://www.9news.com.au/national/earthquakes-australia-list-history/e9b37bce-e91a-402a-9b1c-b5bc377488d1 Edited September 22, 20214 yr by goates
September 22, 20214 yr Eastern suburbs of Melbourne here. Got a pretty reasonable shake for about 30-45 secs. Just another thing to add to the fun times we're having here at the moment. David Porrett

September 22, 20214 yr It was rated as a 5.8-6.0 earthquake, felt as far away as Sydney (1000km / 600miles) away. Cheers, Brian L Robinson Flight Simmer since 1983 - loving the brilliant Quality Wings 787 and all PMDG models!!

September 22, 20214 yr Author "Scientists say Melbourne quake probably caused by tectonic pressure from New Zealand" Sorry guys it was our "fault" 🤣 https://www.theage.com.au/national/victoria/quake-probably-caused-by-tectonic-pressure-from-nz-experts-say-20210922-p58tt4.html Edited September 22, 20214 yr by Matthew Kane Matthew Kane I'm Dyslexic, what's an error to you is not to me
September 22, 20214 yr New Zealand is trying to crash headlong into Australia I guess. On a serious note hope everyone is ok there. Where I live, I sit on top of a major fault line and if we have "the big one" I don't relish the thought. Rhett 7800X3D ♣ 96 GB G.Skill Flare ♣ Gigabyte 4090 ♣ Crucial P5 Plus 2TB
September 23, 20214 yr Luckily the centre of it was out in the country-side and quite deep. No one hurt, and virtually no damage - part of the top of one old 2-storey brick building came down but they reckon it may have been a dodgy wall to start with. Cheers.

Apparently we are heading in both directions, it is our North Island that is moving towards Australia and our South Island that is moving away from Australia, the South Island moves faster by about an inch or two a year, which doesn't sound like much in our brains, considering that the earth is quadbillions of years old this movement is substantial over the earths timeline, but not our perception of time Matthew Kane I'm Dyslexic, what's an error to you is not to me

Cheers. yep was about 10 km deep if the centre of was melbourne than you would have seen lots more damage, so it was lucky the centre of it was way in the country I7-8700k,Corsair h1101 cooler ,Asus Strix Gaming Intel Z370 S11 motherboard, Corsair 32gb ramDD4,, gtx 1080ti Card, RM850 power supply Peter kelberg
