Heh, thats pretty impressive for QLD of all places.. ironically not 20 mins after yours, we had a 5.3 shock here too.. rock n roll!

umm im going to take a guess and say - planet earth lol

nice to see my pix of townsville made the national news, shame they supered them as mackay!!!

I just post that for you Mcik10 if you miss out on watching it before.

Full Moon !?

I find it weird that the depth was at 10km, just like the majority of the quakes in Japan and NZ as of late....

Who, the boogie man? Or is it the government?
Put the tin foil hat away already!

When it happened, my wife picked up on it before I did. As soon as she mentioned the house shook it seemed to really shake, and then it was over. I still think I felt the aftershock, could have just been my legs shaking too.
Will ring some of my customers tomorrow, as they all live outside of Bowen near the epicentre.

We had it out here at about 3.30, didn't feel the aftershock at 5.15 because we were in the car.
Hubby said we just got another small aftershock about 1hr ago. I was out then.

felt nothing here...........

in canberra.

i thought going away for holidays would bring on a cyclone but not an earthquake

Strange as this may seem, I'm putting my hand up for a slight tremor down here - felt a vibration through the house at the same time. Nearly said something to hubby but thought I was imagining it.

Well I was down at north shore at the display village and was walking along the bitumen, a sales guy came running out of a house and asked me "did I feel it"? I was like WTF??? He said there was just an earthquake, I was thinking well mate I won't be buying a house off you, you're on drugs!!!! But then everyone in the display village started pouring out of houses asking the same question!!! Regardless, I didn't feel a thing! Hubby was home and didn't feel it, daughter at work in town, didn't feel it, mum in Condon, didn't feel it! I figure we just mustn't be a very observant family lol.

"And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and lo, there was a great earthquake;and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood." Revelation 6:12 + just possible according to an associate professor at UC Santa Barbara, that the end of the world (according to the Mayan calender, the world ends on 21/12/2012) may just be a bit inaccurate and could actually be 60 days out (Honest) .. think I prefer the Book of Revelation .......

Normally this stuff is explained using fault lines etc etc but ............. I was not aware Australia had any weaknesses near this geographical location.

What is the word from the experts on this little number, do they even have a clue????

Here is some news footage from ABC News of the M5.2 Earthquake from yesterday.

Heard from a few people that felt it all the way up in Cairns also, however there may have been secondary tremors a bit further North than the main quake or something.

felt it up on herveys range yesterday 80 kilometres west of townsville, was camping and put it down to military bombing in the area.
