Earthquake...a bad omen

[Guest]

Is everyone OK? Living in the Japans, earthquakes are pretty regular, but it must have been a real surprise for those not used to them. 😳

Yep. Not sure if the ‘Cat-reaction’ scale is a thing, but mine almost got off the bed!

Just when you thought Victorians were copping enough already you get an earthquake.

I would still blame Dan Andrews.

Yes that's right, the omen is broken if the grand final isn't played in Melbourne. Case closed, myth busted.

The earthquake's all good. Just what we needed to get rid of the Norm Smith Curse.

I was at school in 1964 when the Alaskan earthquake struck and it was a doozy. Coincidentally, our teacher was out of class for a little while and we were mucking around near his equipment at the back of the room when one of us slipped and banged on the shelf which caused the needle of his baragraph to go crazy. Teacher came in, saw the graph and spent the rest of the day bragging to the staff that he'd captured the earthquake on his equipment. There was also an earthquake in Buchan, East Gippsland in 1964 so I always connect the year with earthquakes. This is now the icing on quake!

Think we are all jumping at shadows,    take a bex and have a good lie down.   3 sleeps to go then get antsy.

Just started another thread on this...mods feel free to delete mine.

 

'morning all,

If you just felt earthquake shaking if would be really useful to the brilliant *cough* researchers at Geoscience Australia  if you could fill in a 'felt report' when you get the time.

Cheers, and stay safe!

Done

Near mt buller , ski gods angry no dees supporters skiing

It was the stampede of Demon supporters heading home in their 4 wheel BMW's that caused it.

 

( By the way, apparently the epicenter was at Licola, a small town which is at the gateway of a gradual ascent to Lake Tarli Karn, Mount Tamborith, Mount Wellington, and Wonongatta. AS the crow flies, it might be 35 k, but to drive to Mount Buller from there  makes it a 4 hour, 179 to 205 K journey.)

Mine was very rattled. My wife and our dog were on a walk nearby and didn't feel a thing...Though she heard a roar which she assumed was a nearby train...

We are doomed 

Oh Gawwd THE SKY IS FALLING! 😵 Soothsayers, Mystics, Smoke and Mirrors and Harlots in hell! Err I dont believe in Omens!

[Redleg 40,843]

The game is ours.
We have never lost a GF in the days following a 5.8 earthquake, while in lockdown over Covid, in the week of protestors taking over the city and West Gate Bridge, while the Premier is missing, thought  fled to China.

I thought the rise of the demons would coincide with earthquakes, world wide pandemics, environmental climate changes and rioting on the street. 

 

Reckon it is a great sign. bring on Armageddon

Anyone living in Victoria likely felt an earthquake about 15 minutes ago. Apparently 5.6 on the Richter scale with its epicentre 33 km south of Mt Buller. But that last fact is not the omen. Perhaps others may also recall that on Brownlow Medal night 2000, Melbourne also had a minor earth tremor. And how did that week work out?

Get lost Mfcss board member, are we playing the 2000 Essendon  side back from the past in a time machine
