[h=6]An earthquake measuring 5.2 on the richter scale hit Moe in the late hours of Tuesday. The earthquake decimated the area causing approximately $120.00 worth of damage.
Victims were seen wandering around aimlessly, muttering "expletive removed". Three areas of historic burnt out cars were disturbed. Many locals were woken well before their Centrelink cheques arrived.
The local paper 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 'Shazza' Smith, a 15-year-old mother of 5 said "It was such a shock, my little Chardonnay-Mercedes came running into my bedroom crying."
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?
This appeal is to raise money for food and clothing parcels for those unfortunate enough to be caught up in this disaster.
Clothing is most sought after - items most needed include: baseball caps, tracksuits, sports singlets, Holden racing tops and Reebok boots. Any other items usually sold at Dimmy's or the Reject Shop.
Food parcels may be harder to come by, but are needed all the same. Required foodstuffs urgently needed include: McDonald's, KFC, Hungry Jacks and minimum chips.
Donations of $20.00 will be taken to buy a packet of winny blue 25s and a lighter to calm the nerves of those affected.[/h]
