yes I most certainly felt it I was asleep at the time and woke up to the bed, and whole house shaking at first I thought a family memebr was banging on my bedroom door very loudy and then I thought Someone had broken into my house untill I opened the door,it was anxiety provoking to say the least and cause Ive been off my antidepressants for a few weeks and just started taking them again last night the night before this quake I also thought for a while that I was halicinating or imagining the quake happening needless to say it was a wake up call in more ways than one

Hi @BlueBay
I'm near Newcastle, NSW and the radio reported people felt it here as well as on the Central Coast.
One in a 50 year event.
Sounds a little scary what you went through.

Yes I felt my chair vibrate I thought it was my cat behind me pulling on it! But when I found out what time it happened I know I was sitting in my chair at that time!
