MORE SURPISES: I think a quite significant earth tremor just occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.

(2 significant house movements + floor shaking. In fact I held the table for stability.)
I am in Dromana on the hillside of Arthurs Seat.
My daughter lives in the Riverina, Temora southern NSW...She is saying people in her area felt it too...even though she did not...

According to the Temora Community on Facebook, the tremor was felt right from NSW central coast to Melbourne...https://t.co/W2vjT1hOYp

It is being said that this is the biggest earthquake in Melbourne for 100 years...This morning's large #earthquake (up to 6 magnitude) has been felt in #Tasmania, #SA, #NSW and of course #Victoria. #Epicentre was in #Mansfield, NE of #Melbourne. No tsunami threat, but there are early damage reports from parts of Victoria. pic.twitter.com/8OAImejQkd

So strange that this happened right after Daniel Andrews' early morning 8:15am presser (tremor @8:45am) where he said that the construction industry has been locked down for 2 weeks because it has 350 cases across 150 sites = larger number of cases than in aged care...This was the only industry allowed to remain open during the pandemic...But now he said that the industry needs a 're-set' - which could easily be translated as a 'shake-up' (and Mother Nature obliged to stand by him?)
I agree, thousands of tradies were saved from falling off scaffolding today. Bravo!

Some nervous humour is emerging out of all this...It's a coping mechanism in these crazy times...Further interesting scenario, a 6.3 earthquake occurred in Chile just hours beforehand...The earthquake impacted Chile and Argentina...https://t.co/0sd8TniujF

No more horses of the apocalypse, please. Hope everyone OK. #earthquake

I think they accidentally summoned them when they sang Horses on the Westgate bridge yesterday...

How nice to forget about pressers and COVID! For a few seconds...

Well it helped me forget about the global pandemic for the first time in almost 2 years π

My sons friend (15) was getting his first dose as it happened!

UPDATE:It's a slap in the face if WA doesn't open up to the national earthquake

Here's the latest from Geoscience Australia:
— Chelsea Hetherington (@chelsea_hetho) September 22, 2021
- Initial #earthquake: magnitude 5.8 (downgraded from 6.0) at a depth of 10km at 9:15am
- Aftershock: magnitude 4.0 at a depth of 12km at 9:33am
- Aftershock: magnitude 3.1 at a depth of 6km at 9:54am
DONE...I felt it was the right thing to do for research purposes. I still can't believe the strong shaking of walls and floor vibrations I felt TWICE (one wave after the other, seconds apart) here in Dromana...Yet nothing fell from shelves...Totally weird...

When the police said they were deploying 'different tactics' in response to the Melbourne protests, firing up the earthquake machine was not something I had on the pick list. #earthquake #Melbourneearthquake

Update: Today's earthquake in VIC has been updated to North of Rawson, VIC .

UPDATE: Friday 24th September, 2021Ok. I’m done. This storyline has just gotten ridiculous. I believed the bit about pandemics and ok, maybe the riots. But earthquakes? We need new writers for this show.
