Just had a earthquake here in Mount Evelyn.
This one was pretty strong because the whole house moved.
I wonder where the epicentre was.

very obvious swaying/shaking in Morwell - easy to feel the concrete slab of the verandah moving.

Well, I didn't feel a thing, but I was imaging, no sign of it in the pictures.

New ad for the Paramount MX, so solid it can image through earthquakes!
