CobraSnakeNecktie Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Very weak here in Phayao. I didn't feel anything but a colleague sitting across the table from me felt one small jolt followed by a little shaking. Darn.... I was doing yoga and thought I had a break thru and was emitting large waves of healing energy. Seriously !!! I live on the 14th floor of Hillside 4 and didn't know it was an earthquake but did feel dizzy and disoriented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chanchao Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 THis is a bit strange, when i take the location from the http://www.tmd.go.th/en/earthquake_report.php site then it places it inside Thailand in Chiang Rai, here: http://www.gorissen.info/Pierre/maps/googl...p;setLatLon=Set But other sources have it well inside Laos. Incredible how far away the center is and how much I felt it. I think this is the first quake I felt with a side-to-side motion instead of up-down. If you know what I mean.
