Melbourne earthquake

October 23, 2006

Most people didn’t seem to notice it, but there was an earthquake in Melbourne last night at about 10.30. It measured about 2.5 on the Richter scale, so it was very minor, but I still noticed a bit of a jolt. One person compared it to driving over a railway line, which I’d agree with. Apparently, there was another one about 140km away from Melbourne afterwards.
I don’t know about all the reports of people hearing ‘explosions’ though, I may have felt the shake, but didn’t hear anything at all.
