    Default Melbourne gets a visit from Rumble?

    Just curious how many of the Melb members felt the earth shake this evening?

    I'm in the southeast suburbs so perhaps was closer to the tremor's centre 5.5km north-west of Korumburra in South Gippsland?

    The house definitely shook though and I thought it was a really strong wind at first.

    My mum felt it at home (Mont Albert North), I was at work (Bulleen) and I can't say I felt a thing.

    We were walking along Lonsdale St after the movie when it happens, but we didn't feel a thing... Later, I saw the report in the news.

    Was anyone's TF collections effected? Because this kind of thing happens all the time in Japan and our toys (as well as a lot of other stuff) typically tumble over. This is why Takara usually designs their TF packaging to be resealable, even carded figures - as most collectors in Japan store their toys in packaging rather than displaying them loose.

    I don't even want to think about what a tremour would do to my collection now... (-_-) <knock.on.wood>

    Defiantely felt it here on my end at the western suburbs. A few thoughts went into my head. A really strong wind, a giant possum landed on the roof, something fell on the wall by my room or Blackout has come and initiated the real robot wars into earth.

    It shook the room and all my TF's, but not strong enough to topple them over. Defnately a strange sensation. Haven't felt one in a very long time.

    I was pretty pissed at the time so I think I missed it. I remember vaguely stumbling at around that time when lcz128 greeted me at his front door and told me about and i thought it was just me being tipsy. Could've been the tremor, I guess.
