Now there’s talk of asking for an early warning system.

Like, holy shit CTFD. They’re equating the needs of a place where an earthquake damaged one building one time with places that routinely get serious and severe earthquakes that can literally shake buildings into rubble

Turns out I can sleep through an earthquake.

[-] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 5 points 1 year ago

So that's what that was. The whole building creaked and banged waking me up. I thought we had an intruder!

I like the little ⚡️I FELT THIS EARTHQUAKE button

[-] LovelyLittleSausage@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

And the FELT GRID is cool too. Apparently some sensitive souls in Hamilton and Canberra clocked this one.

I see reports as far as Adelaide and Rockhampton taking the piss.

[-] HorseFD@lemmy.buzz 4 points 1 year ago

So why are we getting so many earthquakes recently? I don’t really remember any before that big one in 2021.

[-] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago

Completely slept through this one. As did both the cat and dog.

I felt this last night in Ringwood. The whole house shook and windows creaked! Woke up and ran outside in my undies! It was "a bit chilly"! Reported it on Earthquakes.ga.gov.au. This is the second one I've reported this year.

Oh no the lattes will spill

[-] MortyMcFry@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

I was up at the time and only noticed the house creaking a bit, thought it was some strong wind.

[-] avatar@vlemmy.net 2 points 1 year ago

I thought I felt one about an hour before this happened, and I was asleep through the 4.6 one.

[-] cloudburst@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

Yup, woke me up, just like the last one. So confusing until you realise what is going on.

[-] Duenan@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

Damn. So that what it was last night. I felt that one but there always seems to be a truck or what sounds like one going past when it happens so it confuses me.

I didn't even notice the earthquake (I'm in City of Port Phillip) - so definitely not that intense here compared to the 2021 one.
