Earth Temor .. measuring 4.7

Post by kyria »

Hit just over an hour ago, the epicenter was in Korumburra just north of us. I was sitting on the floor in the lounge watching the NBL final series (Goooo South D's) when I felt a rumble through the floor, my first thought was, "I don't have the washing machine on".Then there was more of a rumble, hubby and I looked at each other as the house began to shake from side to side, not enough to break anything, but the birds fell off their perches and the ceiling fan was rocking. It felt like a semi trailer had come through the front of the house or something.

We ran outside to see, and everyone was out in the street all asking "Did you feel that"

We hear now on the news that a tremor measuring 4.7 hit south gippsland, radiating out from korumburra.

My son was very excited and wanted to feel it again. lol typical boy.

I was in bed watching tv and the bed was swaying side to side and the windows were rattling.
It took me 10 mins to calm the birds down. They were all skinny wide eyed on the side of the cage. Poor bubs.

My bunny didnt move, she was so shaken.

Its funny what goes through your head in that second where your trying to figure out whats going on.
I thought my bf was playing a prank on me and hiding under the bed shaking it. Then I thought, 'No hes not a prankster'. :roll:
