Earthquake!

I was up watching the soccer. It was a strong shake and felt like it lasted 8-10 seconds. The winds in Geelong were crazy throughout the night too.

Top it off, watched a Leeds Utd win also. :slight_smile:

Is that the Surf Coast?
Are we allowed to mention waves generated from earthquakes, or is this only about the earth?

Also, to any future decent size earthquakes, could you please occur during the day? I already can’t sleep as it is FFS…

Take it to the wave thread thanks.

Does 2.6 really count? That could have just been my stomach rumbling in anticipation of roast lamb this evening.

No, in the wave thread we will be directing @bigallan to the Tsunami thread. Only wind generated wave discussion allowed in the wave thread.

I worked an overnight last night and I’m not sure if this is some sort of joke that I don’t understand.

Braaaton is a long way from the epi…

You’re pulling my leg.
Surely, you are…

Reported that a brick wall at the Beachy Pub collapsed ( small earthquake in the Otways, nobody hurt, like that headline about Chile when a media studies student was asked to write a good news headline)

Another early afternoon today.

Region: Apollo Bay, VIC
Mag: 3.7

For more info and updates, or if you felt this earthquake, go to earthquakes.ga.gov.au/event/ga2023uv…

Some of the the comments on the post are hilarious: being upper-class does not grant one critical thinking ability…

So many nasty people here commenting that on other people’s misfortunes. Regardless of where one chooses to live, I wouldn’t wish this on anyone. Strange how someone putting in the hard yards, enabling them to have nice digs, makes some people quite bitter

The immature, nasty comments here are not helpful. If this occurred in a poorer suburb, would it be ok to say, “Who cares. Their house wasn’t worth much anyway”. We are all people, we all matter. Stop the divisiveness.

Enough with the ■■■■■■■ earthquakes

Photo was pretty poorly cropped. Thanks Google Image Search.

The photo was posted on SATURDAY.

EDIT: Stupid “universal” UTC. But an earthquake doesn’t throw a brick 5 times its height sideways.

The wind could have done that.
