When it hit the house there was a large bang and noise as if a giant washing machine had just hit the spin cycle full of wet towels. The house shook and crockery clinked in the cupboards. It was all over in a few seconds and nothing actually fell over or broke - it was quite exciting until you think of all the places where Earthquakes are far more powerful. I barely had time to realise what was happening before it was finished. It would terrifying to be in a larger quake where you had to make a decision about where you would move to in order to stay safe. I felt another mild tremor - aftershock in the middle of the night and I hope that it's over for us for another 30 or 40 years.
Today there was an Earthquake in Warragul. The epicenter was in Korumburra which is about 30 minutes across the hills by car. The quake or tremor measured 4.4 and was the largest one in 36 years.
