Wasn't an earthquake just bogans having a rumble. Moe ran out of Moccos and Jim Beam and then Ricky Nixon came by looking for a reception.

I assume you got that line from the BoM site or something. I know they chuck it up for anything, but it just sounded so stupid for an inland tremor

Yeah I did, I just simplified the bulletin lol. Hey I was scrambling through all the websites looking for something while keeping my eyes also glued to the tv and bikie wars.
I always look at the bom website.

A MAGNITUDE 5.5 earthquake has rocked the southeast coast of Australia.

Seismologists recorded the massive murmur – almost 10km deep - at 8.53pm.

The mammoth quake spread itself statewide, reaching as far as 10km across south-west of Moe, 18km west of Morwell, 30km off Traralgon and 78km south-west of Sale.

A spokeswoman for Geoscience Australia said its recordings showed it was a magnitude 5.5 earthquake, which was more accurate than international seismologist estimates.

The epicentre has been identified 16km south-west of Moe, at the Latrobe Valley in Victoria’s east.

“Our preliminary information is that it’s a 5.5,” she said.
