Let me start by saying earthquakes in Melbourne are very, very rare. I've lived here all my life and prior to 2009 I've only experienced one. So far this year we've had two and they were less than two weeks apart. That can't be good. *gulp*
We had an earth tremor on Friday 6th March, magnitude 4.7. It was only a little one but it was enough to shake the ground and rattle the windows.
We just had another earth tremor about 15 minutes ago. I'm the only one from my team at work today so when I felt the building shake I couldn't immediately turn around and say, "Hey, did you feel that?" I looked around at people in other areas but no one looked surprised or worried. I began to think I had imagined it. Then I got a instant message from a workmate who said they'd felt it at home. I immediately called Mum & Dad and they'd felt it too. Two in two weeks. That's not good. Not sure what the magnitude was of this one but Dad thought it was stronger.
Seriously, what else does Victoria have to put up with? Drought, bushfires, high winds, earthquakes all in the space of a month. If a volcano suddenly appears in the middle of downtown Melbourne tomorrow I'm going to be cranky.

weird, eh?

It is really strange. News reports are saying anywhere from 4.5 to 4.7 with the same epicentre, around Korumburra. They have those giant earthworms in Korumburra. Perhaps it's them causing the mayhem.

Personally I'm a little nervous about aftershocks, as I know they can be stronger than the initial quake. :/
(I found your post via google blogsearch while looking for news on the quake, btw)

It sounds like it was about the same magnitude as the one a couple of weeks ago. Perhaps it wasn't as far down.
One or two earth tremors every few years felt only within a small area is OK. But two tremors in two weeks so widely felt is making me a little nervous too. What is going on down there?
Thanks for letting me know how you stumbled across by LJ. I didn't think I recognised your username. :)

Here's hoping that volcano stays in your imagination :)

I'm really hoping the volcano stays in my imagination too. I did watch Dante's Peak the other day so if there is one I do know not to go swimming in the hot springs or flying in a helicopter. ;)

If we get another one within the next two weeks I'm seriously going to consider moving to... to... somewhere else. Tasmania perhaps? lol!
The folks in California probably wouldn't have even noticed them. ;)

Jesus, are you alright?
We don't get many down here, but we do get some. As long as you are ok, and all my other Melbourne flisters too *goes to check*
Also, I was wondering, i love the Leverage icons you have with the vids in the one part of them. i was hoping that maybe you could make me a few of Sophia and a couple of ym fandoms?
From:

Sure I can make you some Sophia and other icons. Just let me know which scences you'd like me to use. If you have small avis or movies of the scenes that would be great otherwise I have the first three seasons of OTH on DVD so I can pretty much get any scene from there. As for other fandoms, let me know and we'll see what we can do. :)

And one where she's pouting and the caption "this is my pouty face"
And also one of Brooke with Peyton where they are huging and the caption "my OTP"
And if you get time a Dollhouse one of Eliza when she wakes up saying was a i asleep? and the caption "was I asleep?"
And any other Sophia ones you get time to make.
Thansk so much for doing this for me!

Also, I only have the pilot episode of Dollhouse - (I'm a bad Joss Whedon fan and haven't been able to force myself to watch more than 20 minutes...) - but if there is a scene in that where Eliza wakes up, I can do that.
From:

And yes there is a scene in the first ep of Dollhouse where she wakes up and says that line.
Thanks so much for doing this for me.
And I hope you feel better soon. :)
