@baconmash Ah yes that was a corker, I had given birth the day before and was on the 2nd or 3rd floor at The Women's, not a great feeling being in a multi storey building and extremely defenseless!

Interesting - right on the Cheltenham/Mentone border and didn't feel a thing.

@goodviking yup just saw that a few minutes ago, made a report

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (3 children)

We are Neerim, you must have got a good shake in Rawson there.

@ReadEverything actually I'm seeing other reports saying it was slightly further north of us, and you probably felt it about as much as we did..

@ReadEverything yup, it woke me up and was pretty scary. Like being back in Wellington!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

@ReadEverything still would have been pretty strong in Neerim, that's not too far

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

oh you’re at the epicentre!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

@baconmash slightly south, seems epicentre is between us and Mansfield
