It's not often you get to write a headline like that about Melbourne, but tonight it is true.
A small earthquake, measuring about 4.6 on the Richter scale, followed by a tremor, has rattled homes and buildings across numerous suburbs, up into the Yarra Valley and Kilmore.
Some report the shaking lasting from 5 to 10 seconds. No injuries or major damage reported in the media yet, but emergency services are getting so swamped with calls as they've asked people to stop calling unless they're injured or in a serious emergency situation.
Best description what the Melbourne earthquake felt like, so far :
"...it felt like a very long truck was driving past or maybe the washing machine getting extremely excited."More here
UPDATE : Correction, it was a 4.7.
About three hours before Melbourne rumbled, a volcano in Indonesia erupted.
