We're in Traralgon, thought it was a train or something until the house started to rumble. The little fella slept through it, but the little girl was a bit frightened.

My magazines at work (Newborough) have tipped over and there is plastery dust on my desk from the ceiling.

A pretty cool pic of where earthquakes have occured around the world since 1898. It shows pretty much shows where all the 'borders' of tectonic plates are.

My wife is Filipino and I've spent 3 years over there living in Northern Luzon.

That area is glowing on the pic and it's something you have to experience. Earthquakes are common, the Filipinos don't batter an eyelid.

They are more focussed on the continual typhoons that come

Did anyone feel another tremor not as strong as the one a month ago?

Felt the floorboards rumble, thought the pizza man was at the door. I must not have been imaging things after all!
