Oak Park.

Was on the computer, the screen, desk and windows of the room started shaking. I yelled out to my daughter to stop jumping on the walls or whatever. Went to talk to her, but she wasn't in her room next door as I suspected. I found her up the other end of the house watching the TV. LOL!

The last earth quake i was driving to Knox (in a hurry, escorting a car load of ppls to a movie we were bound to be late for) so I missed that one.. grr

This one, I was working, on Lonsdale St in the CBD, sadly I have felt many things in that building and now think nothing of it.. I don't recall feeling a thing, but maybe I just ignored it or was walking around too fast lol!

The next one I wish to 'experience', I mean I don't want anything to be damaged or people to be hurt, but I feel ripped as I haven't felt a good one yet :(
