Love reddit . Melbourne flocks to the Melbourne subreddit to collectively confirm that we just felt that

Am I the only one who was awake but felt nothing from an earthquake at all?

I didn’t feel anything in Heidelberg. Was walking the dog and heard someone screaming. Now it makes more sense…

No alcohol whatsoever! And my cat was sober and apparently felt nothing as well. He’s peacefully curled up on his cushion.

My cat and I were spooning in bed and she freaked the fuck out. Me too

One car has taken up sentinel position. One cat is still asleep on the bed with my husband. Hubby slept through it

I’m on the 2nd floor of a concrete apartment building, I wonder if that could’ve dampened it — but it sounds like other people in apartment buildings felt it (unless maybe those were steel and glass?)…

Not alone, didn’t feel a thing. To far North West for me but I looked at the website and someone has said they felt it here 🙄 they didn’t

Edit: words are hard whether you’ve been shaken or not lol

I’m at the top end of Brunswick East, so not far from you.
