Wow, what a coverage. So strange how it can hit one suburb, and miss the one right next to it.

Herald Sun website notes that the police have been "flooded with calls". WTF??? Geez, there's no shortage of simpletons around. What the hell are the police going to do?

Nothing down here, I'm in the Macedon Ranges area, but my mate in Box Hill said his whole house shook, everyone is talking about their couches moving, it reminds me of those heart shaped beds in brothels that you put a coin into and it vibrates.

mass floods, cyclones, insane heat waves, worst fires in documented history, now a decent sized earthquake.. looks like someone upstairs is trying to make a point.
i'm miles away from melb but still in vic, didn't feel anything here.
