Moe Earthquake Appeal - please dig deep
An earthquake measuring 5.2 on the Richter scale hit Moe at 9pm this evening, with its
epicentre in Haigh Street. The earthquake decimated the area causing approximately $30.00 worth of damage.
... Victims were seen wandering around aimlessly, muttering "Faaackinell".
Three areas of historic burnt out cars were disturbed. Many locals were woken well before their centre link cheques arrived.
...
The Moe local paper has reported that hundreds of residents were confused and bewildered and were still trying to come to terms with the fact that something interesting had happened in Moe.
One resident - Tracy Sharon Smith, a 15-year-old mother of 5 said "It was such a shock, my little Chardonnay-Mercedes came running into lounge room crying. My youngest two, Kevin and Keith slept through it all."
Apparently looting, muggings and car crime were unaffected and carried on as normal.
The Australian Red Cross has so far managed to ship 4,000 crates of Bacardi-Breezers to the area to help the stricken locals. Rescue workers are still searching through the rubble and have found large quantities of personal belongings, including Health Care Cards, also Jewellery and Bone China from Big W.
HOW CAN YOU HELP?
