Earthquakes in Melbourne!
« on: 22 September 2009 at 08:53pm »
Not bog ones.  Just two smallish ones to the south east last night.  NOt too scary in itself, but we had another two (one I felt when I was the top of a big building in the city, that was fun) a few months ago in the same area.  So, all up, 4 and 4 months.

Um..... aren't large earthquakes preceded by a few smaller ones?

are bog earthquakes merely localised around swampy areas then?
:P

Making fun of grammar and spelling got old around 2004  :angry:

I just started working this week..... in a large, glass coeverd building.  I feel I should be thankful for not having a few and being near the emergency exits.

Shouldn't that be glass covered? ;)

Surely everywhere is an emergency exit in a glass building in an earthquake? :-)

Wasn't the sky red this morning in Sydney? Looks like this is the end for Australia. :(
