I am in Adelaide, wondering if anyone just felt that 10 minutes ago. Loud rumbling then shook the bejeezus out of my place for a good 5 seconds. Never felt anything like that in my life. :

Heard a rumbling but didn't feel anything. Must have been too far away from the epicentre.

I live very close to Mt Barker. Was quietly working on my car in the shed when it happened. Initially, I thought a couple of people had jumped onto the roof of the shed and were running around, but once I felt it coming through the concrete floor and all through my body, you could tell it was a tremor. Shed was rockin and rollin, not a plesant feeling at all.

There was a small one just north of Salt Lake City last night. They are saying the number of earthquakes per year has not increased over the last 100 years. It certainly seems like they have.

I was on Hindley at the time behind a Fully Worked VE R8 that sounded beautiful. So between that, my car, and the city noises. We heard nothing =( .. Didn't find out until I went on FB this morning =)
