This was recorded as the largest quake in Victoria since the
1903 Warnambool events (Mb 5.3), however the 1969 event of Ml5.3
and 1982 event of Ml5.4 are also in the same ballpark. The
Seismological research center of ES&S still has the
earthquake recorded as an Ml5.5.
A number of foodstock losses will also occur at various
supermarkets with many items being thrown off the shelves.
A number of houses have recorded damage in the form of cracks to
walls, ceilings and in other concrete as well as other minor
damage such as fallen tiles.
There¹s been cracks in walls, damage to ceilings and
windows, and possibly some building damage so far² said SES
Spokesman Lachlan Quick talking to news services in Australia.
