After celebrating a great night out tonight attending a very special friends birthday. I was going through some of the photos for an album I am making for her and then out of the blue around 11.30 pm it happens.
Not the kind of rumble I look forward too, oh no, this was an earth shaking experience of the tremor kind. The noise sounded like a fast and furious kind of wind and the blinds and doors started to rattle. Although it passed through quite quickly it brings to mind the fact that we have fault lines here in this state and from reading a few comments already posted on the net it seems this tremor was felt from the north to the south and into the hills as well.
After the event I went out side and the birds in the aviaries were going crazy and the dogs all around were barking. These natural phenomena do certainly make one think. On a lighter side I read one comment on the net where someone left a comment saying " Yes we felt it in the hills too, Damn Mayans" LOL. Oh well as I sign off now for some sleep I notice that there is an eerie quiet outside right now and I wonder where the epicentre was for this latest, shake, Rattle and Roll.

ReplyDeleteyou need to turn down the stereo
ReplyDeleteI have my answer now..It was a point 4 earthquake and that guy up in the hills was in the epicentre.
ReplyDeleteA SMALL earthquake has been recorded in the Adelaide Hills overnight, shaking homes in and around the South Australian capital.
The tremor registered a magnitude of about 4, hitting in the area in the city's northeast at about 11.30pm (local time) on Friday, but was felt as far as 50km away from its epicentre, Geoscience Australia seismologist David Jepsen said.
No one was injured and the tremor is not believed to have caused any significant damage, Dr Jepsen said.
However, emergency services received a lot of phone calls from anxious people all over Adelaide and nearby towns that had felt the tremor.
"The event would have lasted 2-3 seconds and would have been felt as strong shaking, the severity depending on what they were doing at the time," he said.
"This is the earth doing its normal stuff ... when the stress of the plates exceeds the strength of the rocks underneath it releases energy."

Friday night's tremor was strong by Adelaide's standards, but a previous earthquake in 1954 - of 5.4 magnitude - occurred near the heart of the city and caused the equivalent of $6 million damage to property, Mr Jepsen said.
Earthquakes between magnitude 3 and 4 are often felt, with shaking occurring, but rarely cause serious damage.
Thanks to my friends here for their comments. Just an aside to whole thing, I noticed how when out of the blue something strange happens like even this small earthquake your mind is trying to justify what is happening around you and afterwards you are left with a "Oh My Gosh that was a.......... kind of feeling."
Quite a weird feeling actually. Yep we are all vulnerable at times. Take Care My Friends. xo
Glad you are safe and well. (hugs). Yes, I would say "Damn Mayans" *giggling*... Ash is spewing off the Iceland's volcano and flights from Europe grounded... Guess the ancient ones had a good sixth sense(or 7th or 8th).
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you are safe Milli.
ReplyDeleteEarthquakes are pretty scary. A 4 is bad enough to really shake things up.
They keep telling us we are going to get
the big one. Or Mt. Rainier is going to erupt.
Your picture is just beautiful.
Stay safe.
