Default Earth tremor
6.20pm today. 1 small and then followed by a larger one that rattled the windows and shook the house.
Anyone else feel it.
I am in city of Casey.

Valued Contributor: For members whose non technical contributions are worthy of recognition. - Issue reason: Always willing to help out fellow AFF members... Technical Contributor: For members who share their technical expertise. - Issue reason: Daniels knowledge of modular engines and superchargers is extremely valuable to the AFF community. I have learnt quite a bit just reading his build threads. His contributions are often utilised by other members.

Maybe something other than an earth tremor..... perhaps it was Collingwood's Grand Final hopes imploding at the end of the season? :
