NFSA title: 115280
My dad and mum were in this earthquake when they were my age (13). My dad said he was home alone while the earthquake hit. I would have been petrified. :(
imagine
I was about 12 years old on this day.
In Moorebank Sydeny, my dad digging to put new posts in for the pergola.
The guy from next door came out upset saying you've just wrecked my house the whole house was shaking.
2 minutes later the earthquake news came over the radio.
It's pretty amazing that the moment the earthquake happened was captured on film! Industrial Relations can wait!
I was reading the Newcastle Herald in my parents lounge room when the quake struck, my mum screamed, we had minor damage happen to the house, we got word that people had lost their lives, everyone was shocked & saddened, Newcastle was never the same after that.
It's interesting that the reporter doesn't actually know if it was an explosion or earthquake in the immediate aftermath. To anyone who's never experienced an earthquake this may seem odd. Having experienced an earthquake of similar magnitude in the UK which began with a very loud bang it is a perfectly reasonable assumption it could be an explosion, especially in this instance with the very extensive damage to buildings.
I love the old Ambulance siren from them days 3:37
my dad was in this earthquake and it was his older brothers birthday even so it is sad helicopters were landing in the backyard and cracks were on the wall
i lived in mayfield at the time of the earthquake - i was only 9. i remember this like it was yesterday
We just experienced a Earthquake here in vic 2021 pretty crazy tho 🤯
I was in Maitland at the time I was only a young girl I was with my father and grandmother SHOPPING in Greenhills when the supermarket starting shaking violently my father just picked by my shirt and got me out of there very quick
Poor Chris ,he was delivering meat trays at the club when it happened ,he was the one yelling to people and telling them it was an earthquake,he only new this because he experienced and earthquake for the first time in his life 3 months prior to this in Cyprus while on holidays
i came here because of the Melbourne Earthquake
To Newcastle? On average we have them here about every 60yrs. That earthquake was 34 years ago. Oh, and no one really mentions the 5.4 Ellalong earthquake of 1994. If gou were looking for geological stability you picked the wrong place! But the lifestyle here is great!
It was felt as far as Sydney my mother was in the aidc tower when it shook violently she had to leave pretty quick
Well, my mum was at the dentist at the time-
