Earthquake Rocks the Adelaide Hills (and the valleys, and the plains..)
If you don't live in Adelaide then you are probably somewhat unaware that it has a quiet reputation for earthquake tremors. In fact, 99 per cent of visitors to the city would not have felt one during their visit as usually they are small and only noticeable to the most still person along the fault line at the time.
However, tonight Adelaide has experienced a quite noticeable tremor and it will see what news breaks (outside of social media) in the coming day or so. If there was a geographic map that pinpointed traffic sources for social media sites then Adelaide would have lit up the room from around 2338H (according to my wrist watch). Twitter and Facebook went a little crazy with hundreds of tweets and over 100 new groups for the 'Adelaide Earthquakes' appearing within 15 minutes of the event.
The last time I experienced an earthquake in Adelaide was the 1997 Burra-centred earthquake which hit whilst tutoring / babysitting 2 young boys in Hawthorndene. Of course, Hawthorndene has a fault line running through it down to Darlington (right through the middle of Flinders University on the way). It had a very clear build up and ramp down with a strong peak somewhere in between.
I remember sitting at the dining table when it began. I asked the children what that noise was and was told it was just the wind and that it 'happened all the time'. Just as he finished saying this the paintings on the walls started banging and I realised that I was experiencing my first ever legitimate earthquake beyond those minor tremors that happen from time to time.
Well, tonight it's happened again. I happened to be at Berocca's home in Glenalta and as we grabbed some gear to haul out to my car it hit. I found myself thinking, "Freight train, no, low aircraft, no, storm, no, ah, earthquake!" Berocca had not felt a tremor like this and it was not until I said it was an earthquake and that we should just 'get the stuff outside' that she realised what it was herself. It really sounded no worse than a freight train but it was the sensation of shaking from the ground up is always a startling one. The standard reading from the Buckleboo Station shows that something quite noticeable happened. (Buckleboo station is denoted as 'BBOO' on the Geoscience Australia Seismic Monitoring Stations map for your reference).
If you are planning to find someone to witch hunt over this event then you should probably start with Mr David Love and Mr Kevin McCue, both of whom illuded to this event almost exactly one year ago. On the 19th of April 2009, Australian Seismological Centre director Kevin McCue was quoted by the Adelaide Advertiser as saying, "According to statistical theory, 2010 poses the highest risk for an earthquake of magnitude six or larger in SA." Of course, preliminary information indicates that it is in the scale of 3.0-3.4 magnitude but our house says that it was more in the order of 4.0-4.2 according to The Man of the House's experience of it as our home is nearer the fault line than Berocca's home is.
Also, on the 15th of April 2009, just 1 year and 1 day ago, Mr David Love was quoted by the advertiser saying: "The law of certainty says it [an earthquake] is closer now than it was last week."
Now, this in mind, there was an earthquake off the shore of Adelaide on the 5th of April, and with this occurring less than two weeks later, it is within the realms of possibility that Adelaide may be in for more noticeable tremors in the coming months.
Of course, at the time of Mr Love and Mr McCue's statements to the media our Mr Rudd was more focussed on the bush fire bandwagon after Black Saturday. Perhaps now it is time to heed the advice of these experts who are also quoted as saying (in the Adelaide Advertiser articles linked to above):
Mr McCue said SA was "not well prepared" for a larger earthquake.
Industrial designer Michael Angerson, who specialises in earthquake-resistant building design, labelled Adelaide buildings "very unsafe". He said concrete slabs used in homes would crack and crumble.
"It doesn't matter how far you sink the foundation, an earthquake will just rip it up."
"It's pretty dangerous stuff and yet councils insist on that sort of (design), which is dangerously arrogant and not very scientific."
Just as earthquakes are impossible to predict, they are difficult to plan for. As a simple example, if the epicentre of a new earthquake again was around Darlington [alike the 1954 quake before Adelaide extended South of Marion], who could know if the Flinders Medical Centre would be operational to cope with injured people?
Food for thought, Adelaidians, food for thought. Remember, Mike Rann was reminded of this risk just one year ago and I am certain not much has been done about this at all. What happens then the next 'big rock' happens?
Yep, and people are already out to make a buck with shirts already for sale in Cafe Press here and here as well as on Zazzle.
Reports from people feeling the tremors now extend out to include*:
Mt Barker
Northern Adelaide Hills
Gawler
Hahndorf
Marion
Monarto
Gawler
Murray Bridge
Finally, The Advertiser have thrown up their first article ! Homeschool Mum beat you to it Noonan - that'll teach you for spending time sourcing a graphic. Oh yeah, what day of the week did the earthquake hit again? :P (It was Friday, not Thursday.) Best wishes for a long late night for the comment moderation monkey for that article I have just watched it tick over from 800 comments to over 1000 in the space of minutes.

Rann's fault?
It's funny how people take any oppurtunity to slam the Rann! I'm sure if you were in charge you would probably not put earthquakes at the top of the priority listeither darling! More has happened in this city than ever before under Rann, if the liberals were in charge, they'd be more concerned about repainting the churches and lining the pockets of the already wealthy, and probably would look at earthquake measures as a low priority, and too costly. So not a valid argument chicken.
I live at Hackham West and we felt the house shake.
Regarding blaming Rann.. I am not blaming him for anything. From my perspective there is no blame to be laid as no personal injuries or lives lost as a result. My point to this is that he is not to blame for anything *yet*.
Yes, there are a lot of things you 'can't plan until something happens like how services will be deployed. More broadly though our government is responsible for identifying government agencies and services who will be needed in an emergency, to detail why and work with those bodies to produce broad plans for how their service will respond and some broad reporting guidelines.
At the time that these articles were published Black Saturday had just swept through hundreds of hectares of Victorian land. Immediately the ball started rolling on bushfire action plans. This, however, would have been a great time for emergency planning across the board. Is the Airport Disaster management plan up to date? Are there even plans for earthquake and times of widespread flooding (as seen in residential areas along water courses, in low lying areas and in areas with poor storm water management after significant downfalls)?
We have plans in place in conjunction with Federal government for terrorist attacks (not that I can see a reason for anyone picking Adelaide as a target). We now have new bushfire policy also. Perhaps, though, this is something that Rann could step out on the front foot and either develop policy, review any connected policy and publish that this has been done.
How about not having these things left until after the fact for a change? This tremor is a timely reminder that Mr Mike Rann has the opportunity to act on now before the next one comes, that is all.
i had a slight tremor on Australia day, after too much wine.
I have found a lot of useful information from this platform. I must say that sharing your thoughts with one another is an easy way to relax yourself in the daily hectic routines. Each time a description of the change,70-291 braindumps// 642-832 braindumps// 70-643 braindumps// 640-553 braindumps// 220-601 braindumps// 70-649 braindumps// 70-270 braindumps// 70-662 braindumps// there are always lots of talk about it anywhere. These are not exempt. I mean one must be up to date with the day to day change in the environment and in the technology as well. In my personal opinion, the world is turning into a global village and now you can get a lot of required information by just a click while sitting where ever you are.
