I hope all is well lookinglass it started with a big boom here too.

Hope nothing fell down PH, I was in the hallway in the centre of the house, so that's why I didn't notice the rattling

That's what it sounded and felt like here, too.

Possibly a 2.7 earthquake

well it could have been.

 

When I was little and I lived in Adelaide, there was a big earthquake there, I can remember it all, our ceiling fell in, large cracks in the walls and large cracks in the foot paths.......

 

Dont wish to go through any more big ones, little ones are bad enough....

Let's hope that's it then. That one was big enough for me. It's odd how we seem to get them in hot weather. I don't remember one last year, but over the past few years, we've had a couple in the summer months
