Earthquake tremor hits Melbourne


whatever you do don't search for "earthquake" at the moment unless you want your stream throttled.

      I also felt the earthquake.
      It was one of the longest I felt in Melbourne so far.
      It would have lasted at least 15 seconds... very scary... even my 3 schnauzer dogs were howling!

    Frankston is on a fault line. It was felt as far away as Nagambie
