Woken up by an earth tremor

2.02am Saturday 3/10/2026.
House was shaking very gently. Items were swaying.
Only lasted 5 - 10 seconds
Only my second earth tremor I have experienced.
The first one was sometime in the late 60s/early 70s in Tasmania.
Woken up then with the house shaking, that one went for a little longer.

Go on admit it. Every other time you felt the earth shake is when you had a little too much to drink. :smirk: :smirk: :rofl:

Apparently 4.7 earthquake at Korumburra. Which is about 120kms SE of where I am in Melbourne.
My experience here was 2 - 2.9 strength.

The earth moved in bed for me too.That has happened for a long time :grinning:

Is it a common occurrence in Melbourne Bretrick?

Not so common. About 10 - 12 that are felt by people occur over the course of 12 months.
