I don't take any notice of the royal family's domestic news, so my wife had to explain this one to me ....

For those in Melbourne who felt the 3.8 earthquake last night:

Did the earth move for you too?   I slept through it but the DOGS reacted. Nev

You always said, "Dog knows!"

"Dog allbitey?"  Nev

I slept through it too. Sorry I missed it.

I never felt a thing - but perhaps the 3,500kms distance between myself and Melbourne might have had something to do with it.

 

I'm fully expecting another decent 'quake in W.A. soon, it's been 55 years since we had the Meckering earthquake and that 'quake also did quite a bit of damage to many buildings in Perth.

 

We had a massive earthquake at Meeberrie in 1941, but no-one felt it, because the area is very isolated and many people were at war, or carrying out war work. It probably shook up a few sheep.

I heard a seismologist say that there has been an average of three earthquakes per year in the Melbourne area over the past ten years. Usually the slipping that causes the earthquakes occurs 10 to 20 kilometres below the surface, but this last one was only 3 kms down. Overall, however, our exposed land mass is near the middle of the continental plate, away from the edges where earthquakes are more severe. North-west Western Australia would be the most prone to seismic activity as it is closest to the plate boundary.

Yeah, this belongs in the sex, health, etc thread. It answers those archaic bods who believe that every difference in our culture can be 'cured'
