Cuties I dont know what is going on down here in Australia at the moment . Tonight Melbourne Victoria had a 5.5 earthquake which shook most of the state. We have had them in 3 states in the last couple of months. Which is most unusual it usually only happens once in about 10 years and they are usually far less then 5.2 The last big one was in 1989 in Newcastle. Hugs Joyce

I had a little laugh today The news said one man was injured falling off a ladder. My thoughts were what was he doing up a ladder at 9 oclock at night. He! He!. Hugs Joyce

I thought it may have been a failed elopement, it would've been built on a shaky foundation.
Or perhaps a burglary that just slipped through his fingers...
Oooh, sick! LOL!

Maybe he's related to the lady I saw while I was walking someone else's dog this week in the rain. Using an electric angle grinder on the eaves on a metal ladder. Ho hum.

I guess you are in Vic too, then? I'm in the outer eastern suburbs of Melb.

Joyce, we do seem to go through fazes ever few years. Saw the Victoria one on the news this morning, hope everyone made it through the night OK.
hugs Helen

The news just said that they have been getting small aftershocks . and near the epe center of last nights quake the SES is checking out all buildings for cracks some buildings and supermarkets are closed as there are groceries all over the floor . But doesnt seem to be too much damage. Hugs Joyce

I live in Melbourne but everything is OK the house just shook for 30+seconds,we don’t usually have tremors they are saying strongest tremor in Australia for 100+years

Prayers to all affected. I will watch the news!

My thoughts and prayers go out to all. Please update us when you can.

My thoughts and prayers are with all involved.

I am in Lara, about 45 minute drive from Melbourne we didn't feel anything here. But the was a small one a few days ago in Corio, about 10 minutes drive. To small to cause any damage.

heard it on the news this morning. Have no problems here is South Aust. But will hopefully get some rain tonight.

Oh dear me. I hadnt heard the news today, Gotta go phone my Mum in Bairnsdale Victoria and see if she is ok, She lives on her own.

Could swear I already replied to you but it vanished. The epicentre was in Sale, I think.

Marianne the epi was in Moe, Shook Mum up a bit. She is ok . She is 83 and said she has not sat thru one as strong.

Sure hope all is fine. Sounds like a lot of earthquakes around the world this past year.

Thankfully, as far as I have been reading the news, there has been very little damage, but they'll know more in daylight.
No injuries reported, though a man fell off a ladder. What he was doing up a ladder at night wasn't revealed.
Anyway, one hopes that daylight won't reveal any damage to be worse than first reported.
BTW, I am in NSW not far from Chris Pennifold, so we are all safe up here and I do thank you all, most sincerely, for your concern.
Hugs and roses, Meganne

So.... that's what woke me up!!!
No, I don't think we felt anything in Mount Gambier, just over the border.
Hmmm... I wonder... 4 1/2 hours ago the dogs were quite restless, seemingly for no reason. Maybe they did sense something.
I hope there wasn't too much damage done.

When the Newcastle one struck, everything went quiet even the birds stopped chirping, before a noise that sounded like a heavy truck going down the street ,our dogs started to bark & the house shook

We were at Toronto on the water. It sounded like a plane was going to crash and we could see it coming on the ground . It was like a wave coming toward us. Now that was spooky,

When the Newcastle earthquake struck, I was sitting on the loo, I kid you not!
And 2GO was playing I Feel the Earth Move!
Our house must have been on the fault line because this was here on the Central Coast, at Wamberal.
And it shifted the tiles on our roof.

by meganne 20 Jun 2012

on our roof so that the next time it rained the roof leaked into roof space above my son's bedroom and ran down inside his bedroom walls.

I will be praying for all involved - keep us updated.

Prayers to them!!

I don't know all the Cuties that are in Australia, but does anyone know if Meganne and Chris are involved.
My prayers are with everything involved.
Warm Hugs

I think everything is OK just reports tonight of mild damage like cracks in walls and shaking at the epe centre. I think it seems to be more fright than damage thank goodness. Hugs Joyce

I am so sorry to hear this. Please try to stay safe and prayers are going up to our Lord and Savior for all of you.
