Did you feel the earthquake tonight (SE VIC & Melb)

My brother is a seismologist. His company does monitoring of this stuff. They always want feedback on what you felt so they can correlate it with the actual seismic readings.


2009 March 6, Korumburra, VIC ML 4.5 (Google map)
0955 UTC, 145.87°E, 38.43°S, 10 km deep
(Friday, March 6, 08:55 pm AEDT)
This earthquake occurred about 5km east of Korumburra, in the same area as the ML 3.7 earthquake on January 12. This earthquake has been felt widely throughout the epicentral region and across Melbourne. A number of small aftershocks occurred in the hour after this earthquake and are expected to continue for some days or weeks. Please fill out an intensity report if you felt this event or were in the epicentral area and did not feel anything.

ps. the website is currently kind of slow (a lot of people trying to get info) so if your submission fails, just retry after a little while.
