Adelaide earthquake

[Phoenix]

Did anyone in Adelaide feel that! Not much on a global scale but it was enough for me to head for the back door. Nice rumble!

Already has 2000 fans on facebook only 8 minutes ago.

Yep felt it here, rattled the windows etc, thought the neighbor had closed his carport door too hard, went outside and dogs barking everywhere.

Yep, it's been a while since I felt a tremor like that, 20+ years or so.

I notice Geoscience Australia's web page is down as I am sure lots of folk are trying to get information. I can't believe how quick the news spread via facebook. It was there I found a link to the first news item:

What size was it??

Probably one of the shallow faults jostling around a bit.

Geosceince Australia are reporting 3.2 (got this second hand - will need to check).

Yep. thought it wouldn't be more than 3 at all but still sent a shiver up the spine. I found the mag 3.2 from the newsolio web page - source is geoscience aus.

So far I've seen reports putting it as high as a 4! Gave everyone a good rattle, I bet.

[Paul Haese]

3.8 is the official. I was saying around 4. So I was fairly close, just a couple more points and it would have been. Reasonably active in Adelaide but mostly just little stuff. The last one I felt was in 94, shook furniture and all but was around 4.4 I think at the time.

[Jaybee]

Felt it here in the Barossa Valley too! Thought it was thunder to start with.
according to news reports, its epicentre was around 100km from Adelaide CBD.
