EarthQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQuake

[Footy Chick]

imagine being underground during an earthquake....

No thanks!

The yetti was in his cave at Kuipto on Friday Night. Lucky for him the stalectites stayed attached to the roof of his cave.

Wouldn't that give you a sore neck?

Today my buddy and I went for a drive
We got out at Wistow General store
The store was full of crows posters, crow dolls, racing pictures and a photo of Russell Ebert
I asked the mature aged shopkeepers about the earthquake
One thing mentioned was that some people had thought it was the trucks going past on Wellington Road

We asked where the exactish epicentre was
We were directed to the Mt Barker strawberry farm about 2kms away
We went to the farm on Fiddlers lane and bought some earthqqqqqqquake strawberrys
Punnets were $2-50 , fresh and delightful tasting
"""Strawberry fields forever.""

Spoke to some workers at the farm who described the quake
A greek fellow knew it was an earthquake as soon as he heard the rumble being from Northern Greece he would know that
We bought some strawberry jam from there as well dunno if I will ever open the jar though

We also stopped on the corner of Wellington Road and Fiddlers lane to the Rosary Garden thrift shop come library
The proprietors told me at the back is where the Barkers first lived
What a delightful premise
They aslo described the qqqquake, the fourth in the area in the last 3 weeks

7/7/1883 was the first main earthquake in Australia
It registered 4.7
And it was at Mt Barker

Cost us $50 for lunch and petrol , but it feels like Ive spent nothing today
And tonight Im giving out the earthqqqqquake strawberrys to my friends and family

What a cool story Mal

Enjoy those strawberries

Earthquake warning/advice issued for SA

[Squawk]

Bizarre. I typically get all the warnings and alerts for all-hazards and off all people, I haven't seen this myself! Will be following this one up tomorrow, for sure.

LMAO that the article says the last such warning was after Christchurch and issued by the Premier - he was in India at the time!

Following that quake, Australian Seismological Centre director Kevin McCue said it was only "a matter of time" before SA experienced a repeat of the 5.5 magnitude quake of 1954 that caused $70 million damage across Adelaide.

That one wasn't a big deal - as a kid I slept through it and was unhappy I'd mssed it.
I told my mother she should have woken me so I could experience it - she'd had the silly fear I'd have been frightened had a I woken.
When I lived in the Dandenong Ranges near Olinda and Mt Dandenong, from 2000 to 2008, small tremors were fairly common, and never made the news.

Was there a tremor last night by any chance? I heard this strange loud shaking noise last night, but I was very tired and it may have been the neighbour's cat landing on our gutter (he is rather large).

AN earthquake has shaken state's Mid-North, rattling houses in Jamestown.
A Geoscience Australia spokesman said the earthquake had a magnitude of 4.0 and its epicentre was 20km north of Peterborough, 20km east of Orrororoo and 87 km northeast of Port Pirie.

It had struck about 8.45pm.

"There's been no reports of damage, but we've had reports in all those areas and also in Jamestown," the spokesman said.

He said there would be aftershocks, but could not say how severe they would be or how long they would last.

"For a magnitude of four, we're going to expect some small aftershocks but we would expect them to be reducing in size," he said.

"It would be normal to expect aftershocks."

Did we just have a tremor a few minutes as I heard a very loud noise outside our building at work

We sure did. It woke me up. Surely bigger than the last one.
All over talkback radio.

[Gozu]

Yep I felt it too.

I don't think it was as big as the last one though I remember being in my bedroom and it felt like it was going to collapse sounded like a 100 semi-trailers coming down the road.

Putting my scientific cap on I'd put this one in the 50-60 semi-trailers category.

Here ya go guys....you can zoom in and see where the epicentre was...

Woke me up, sounded at first like thunder but then everything shook, lasted for only 3 or 4 seconds, 3.3 evidently

[CENTURION]

I thought the rockbiter was rumbling down the road!!

[Johno6]

me and the missus both woke up, i thought it was someone inside the house.... and just went back to sleep.

glad it was an earthquake instead

[A Mum]

Didn't feel a thing this time around.

So physically and mentally exhausted from my work load atm that I slept right through it.

After the last one I was miffed how anyone could sleep through it (husband and son) - but now I have too..lol.

[GWW]

I'm in the eastern suburbs and didnt notice this one/wake up.

Having 2 within a year or so does make me wonder if a major one, similar to the one in the 1950's, may occur sometime relatively soon.

[Footy Chick]

Slept right through it.

Was thinking along the same lines

In 40+ years of life having never been through the experience - (even though I didn't feel this one) that's now 2x in a short space of time.

[Brodlach]

Expert on the radio just said he expects another one in the next two weeks.
