Harden up you Victorians.
It was a tremor.
I've been in a tremor in Melbourne 1980/81 and it was no bigger than a good r**t.
I've also been in an earthquake.
And your recent knee trembler was no earthquake.
Typical AFL supporters type response.

Not me but I was on the phone to someone who did! She's a few kms closer to the CBD than I am.

Re: Victorian Earthquake
I haven't heard any reports of actual damage to anything, but I do know for certain that about 20% of Vic electricity generation has tripped offline as a result.
Power supply for Vic is now coming from SA, Tas and the remaining generation in Vic. As long as nothing else goes wrong, there will be enough power for normal operation of businesses etc tomorrow.
Other than that, I haven't heard any reports of it actually affecting anything in terms of damage etc.

Yes we did.
The dog was uneasy 5 minutes prior, was wondering what was wrong with him, then the bottle was swaying on the bench - knew it was an earthquake.
Hmm, 5.5

Yep we're about 13km north of the CBD and we felt that one.
I had pressure in the ears from the low frequencies, thought "my subs are off so it can't be that" so I asked the misses and kids if they could feel it, they looked at me like "WTF's wrong with you". Then a few seconds later it hit, the couch started wobbling and a few parts of the house started rattling. Was all over in about 20 seconds or so.
It's the first earthquake I can remember, apparently I went through a couple much worse when I was a kid in another country but I can't remember much of it. In the middle of it I started to get concerned. But it was all over pretty quick and only very tame
Cheers

We live in Port Melbourne, 2nd floor, and felt absolutely nothing. Was just sitting on the couch, no glasses rattling on the coffee table or anything.
A friend lives about 30 stories up in a different building and he didn't feel a thing either

Was easily noticeable in Beaumaris, rumbling noise, house shook and things were rattling. I've felt 2 or 3 tremors in the past (incl. one in Tokyo in February earlier this year), but this was way stronger!

Definitely felt it while visiting a friend in Heathmont last night.
"Can you feel that?"
"What?"
"The house...can you feel that?"
"Must be possums..."
"It's not possums!"
When I got home (Brunswick) everyone was in bed so I didn't get a chance to ask if they felt it.

I heard it wasn't an earthquake at all, just all the Carlton supporters jumping off the bandwagon
