Massive tremor in Jhb?

[Vrotappel]

I didn't feel anything in Cape Town, did anyone in Cape Town get affected?

Nag DA even keeps earthquakes away.

Maybe that is the reason it is so cold here

I don't buy that it is the mining or see the fault line?

We mine 3km down, the earthquake happened at 10km

I feel it in my fingers, I feel it in my toes.

Thousand of kilometers of tunnels beneath Johburg all along the great reef, the ground below is basically a honeycomb of old mines. We had tremors on a daily basis in the late 90's in Boksburg. I'm surprised the big quakes don't happen more often. Literally all those tunnels just collapsing and settling. Last I heard they were pumping the sediment back down into them.

Topstar was a thing.

That the drive-in?

Back then we had the Fun Factory in Boksburg and Randburg Waterfront actually had a lake with a bungee jumping platform in the middle of it.

Scary. Was sitting on the edge watching ornaments fall off the shelf.

Topstar was on top of a mine dump. Pretty much all of those mine dumps are gone now.

Bad building usually. Our house also has a crack right through where it settled after an addition.

People love to say this, although its a vanishingly small amount of tunnels compared to the rest of the crust, insignificant I'm sure

Let’s speak about what’s happening in the background whilst the reporter announces where she’s at

Illegal mining making the old shafts under the East Rand unstable probably.

Same. Some of my stuff also rattled off the windowsill.
Got the skik of my life.

Also left a light tremor this morning between 11 and 12 I think.

And did you remain under the bed, @Tokolotshe?

Nottafok, I got out. Those bricks the bed were on looked dodgy.
