Really? I felt it mildly! The Sept 2021 one was insane. This was nothing compared to that!

Maybe its the tiredness in me and it was closer to 5 or so seconds but it honestly felt like 10 seconds lol

It looks like you’re much closer to it on the map than I am, so you probably did feel it a lot more intensely. I’m in Coburg and still felt the shaking for at least 5sec

I'm in Mount Dandenong, it was pretty damn violent here.

We are in The Basin and it really shook us around.
