About 8.50 tonight we had the strongest earthquake I have felt in Melbourne. We heard the low frequency rumbling as it came toward us and then the house shook (gently) for about 10 seconds. With previous earthquakes we have felt a small shudder and then realised what it was. There was no mistaking it on this occasion. It was a magnitude 5.3 quake centred about 120 km away and 9.9 km deep in Gippsland. (See red marker at lower right on the map.)
