Earthquake!

[Joshua_mybb_import21010]

We just had this earthquake, house was completely rumbling for 30 seconds or so... I was stuck in my bedroom whilst my parents were upstairs. I had no fu*king clue what to do... I sorta panicked... But I just continued to lay in bed as if nothing happened xD We had objects falling off the wall and seeming as our T.V is wired/placed into the wall (no stand for support) that almost fell out s: So what's the worst natural disaster that's occurred where you've lived and how'd you react to it?

This is the one in Victoria right?

 

[Joshua_mybb_import21010]

Sure is The epicenter is a few kilometres away from where I live.

Oh man, It's all over FB! Hopefully you and your family are okay, I didn't feel anything since I'm in Sydney, but still apparently it was the biggest one in Victoria in 109 Years!

We're all fine at the moment It was just a massive shock due to we don't get them too often, as you'd know c: We had no serious damage done to belongings/property. Once it was actually over, we had no idea what to do. We kinda just stood on our front porch and yelled across to the neighbours about it for a bit. Car alarms were going off all down the street, haha.

 

[Michael]

Ahahah, well luckily it doesn't happen very often here!

When bouts was the last earth quake (or any kind of disaster) that occurred in Sydney? Haven't been there for about 7 years.

The one time my house was hit by an earthquake, I was too busy playing Runescape and had barely noticed it.

 

[Pichu]

I quite would like to experience one, I live in Singapore,so at most only tremors :/

 

[Michael]

I've never experienced any natural disaster.

Before the earthquake (wasn't a natural disaster as such) we had some dickhead who lit fires up in the mountain/hill part of where I live, so if you can picture a community and an outskirts (the hills) with a small population living around them, some guy decided to start a fire, it spread throughout the hills and the blazes came within a kilometre away from our house. s: Can't remember if this was Feburary 09 or 10'

..And I thought this was gonna be about the minor earthquake that we had about an hour ago.
Awell. ..Did anyone else feel it?

Edit: Ha, thought this page was the first page, my bad ^^

 

[Michael]

Yeah, I remember that, it was devastating! What an idiot.

Sounds scary, the part of the US I live in has nearly no worries about natural disasters aside from tornadoes but those all stay in the central plains.

Mind explaining how an earthquake feels? :>

 

[tu y tu mama]

Well I've never experienced an earthquake, but I'm sure that I'd be scared if one happened where I live.
The worse natural disaster that I've experienced has been just like a storm that it was raining for around 5 hours, it was extremely cold and lights went out for a few minutes.

It was kinda just like everything vibrating, like our whole house was just moving around... s: I was lying in bed and not actually standing, but my bed just completely shook and I bumped around, haha.

I've never experienced any natural disaster.

Yeah. Not much ever happens in sydney. Do the Cronulla riots count? (I was in it haha)

 

[Rarity]

I was affected by Hurricane Irene, I was without power for 7 days, could be worse though, like lose house or sumthin.

 

[Tyler-]

Where abouts do you live near melbourne?

I felt it and within 2 minutes literally had over 200 status's on facebook saying earthquake.. bunch of retards.

 

[Joshua_mybb_import21010]

I don't live within Melbourne, we live within a few kilometres from where the major one started (Thorpdale)
