Earthquake Rocks Frankston
EARTHQUAKE ROCKS FRANKSTON
A major earthquake measuring 5.8 on the Richter scale hit in the early
hours of this morning, with the epicentre in Frankston Victims were
seen wandering around aimlessly muttering, "F**kin ell" and "Whadda
carnt". The earthquake decimated the area causing approximately $30
worth of damage. Several priceless collections of mementos from the
Commodore Appreciation Society and the Frankston Progress Hall were
damaged beyond repair.
Three areas of historic burnt out cars were disturbed.
Many locals were woken well before their welfare cheques arrived.
Frankston Radio reported that hundreds of residents were confused and
bewildered, still trying to come to terms with the fact that something
interesting had happened in the area.
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 my
bedroom crying. My youngest two, Tyler-Morgan and Megan-Storm slept
through it all. I was still shaking when I was watching Jerry Springer
after the quake had hit". Apparently though, looting, muggings and car crime
carried on as normal.
The Red Cross has so far managed to ship 4,000 crates of Vegemite to
the area to help the stricken locals. Rescue workers are still
searching through the rubble and have found large quantities of
personal belongings, which include benefit books, flannelet shirts,
jewellery from Priceline and bone china from Safeway
***************** HOW YOU CAN HELP*****************
This appeal is to raise money for food and clothing, parcels for those
unfortunate to be caught up in this disaster. Clothing is most sought
after. Items most needed include: baseball caps, tracksuit tops (his
and hers), Shell Suits (female), white sport socks, sturdy boots, moccasins
, flannelette shirts and torn jeans or
any other items usually sold in Op Shops. Food parcels may be harder
to come by, but are needed all the same. Required foodstuffs include,
Fruit Loops, Kebabs, McDonalds, KFC, pies, ice cream and cans of VB
, Bacardi Breezer or UDL. If you would prefer to donate money, 25c
buys a biro for filling in the compensation forms; $5.00 buys pie & chips,
, crisps and blue fizzy drinks for a family of 9;
$10.00 will pay for a packet of Longbeach extra milds or Horizon 30's
and a lighter to calm the nerves of those affected.
PLEASE do not send tents for shelter, as the sight of posh housing is
unfair on the population of the neighbouring areas.Great minds discuss ideas,
average minds discuss events,
small minds discuss people
