Melbourne earthquake felt by hundreds of people across the eastern suburbs

Residents across Melbourne's east have reported feeling shaking and a loud blast after a small earthquake was recorded in the area.

Hundreds of people across the eastern suburbs, from Nar Nar Goon to Croydon, reported feeling the tremor. "Although we did not feel reverberations, we heard them afterwards for quite a few seconds," she told the ABC. "It may be a noise that's resulting from the rocks actually breaking beneath the surface, and that transmits to the surface of the earth as soundwaves," he said.But he said tremors were not uncommon in the Pakenham area.

I am in Pakenham & I felt it around 7.30pm yesterday. There was no prior warning regading the earthquake... it is unbelievable that responsible parties failed to inform regarding the earthquake tothe general public.

There's gold in the valley...😉

Shame it wasn't a Victorian-sized sink-hole!

Hahaha. 2.2? Sure it wasn't a truck going past?

I thought it was just my partner having another orgasm!

2 days ago.. i win

Magnitude 2 earthquake can't be felt by people, only by instruments.

When did this happen, I stayed in the eastern suburbs(carrum downs) earlier this year.

I’d thought it was a truck going past! But I guess it’s been awhile since the last one, so we were due. At least we only get little ones.

God's just trying to get peoples attention. Wake up fools!

Its bloody Karen from bunnings again

“...hundreds of people...”? That’s not an earthquake.

Hundreds is that all

'Hundreds'

Karen farted...

2020 is like...

ItsBouquet That's not an earthquake, it's a tremor. Can we stop with the Hollywood-style theatrics, please. This is a newscast, not hyped-up 'reality tv'.

It’s 2020. It’s all happening. Locusts next...

Bloody hell. Mother Nature is really passed off. Hopefully no one was hurt and no damage.

Was it Dan’s fault

Fires, floods, pestilence and earthquakes, what next?

DGoodremGeek did you feel any earthquake tonight?

Mega build up of lockdown farts....There ...someone had to say it! 😛 Childish, uneducated...nope just need a larf! 😛😂

Yeah. Dan Andrews’ fault too ...

It's disproportionately affecting women, minorities and the LGBTQ+ community.

Lemme guess. It's a racist earthquake

2.2! Hahaha!

If hear anyone blames Dan then F..k you

News Headlines should of been - 'ANTI-MASKERS CAUSE EARTHQUAKE'. The craziest part, is that most the population WOULD BELIEVE IT.

kazdownunder23 Let's hope it shakes some sense into them!!

Even the tectonic plates getting that exercise in,

Nonsense. It was Dan suffering a reality check. optimist

This is getting to be wrath of God sort of stuff. What in the world has Victoria done to deserve this year?

Mass lockdown weight gain unsettles the plates

It's Dan's fault. He gets the blame for everything else .

Teflon Dan sh$tting his pants? 🤔

Bloody Dan Andrews...

Fireballs raining down from the sky soon. sodomandgomorrah

Oh god here we go. It’s probably fucking dinosaurs returning.

It was the V I R U S . Not climate change this time.

TheDrum People who propagate nonsensical and apparently paranoid claims about science and medicine are a social and health hazard, perhaps because they lack education beyond primary school. Or are there really that many who are truly paranoid?

2020 best described as a serial killer
