[PeaceBlondie]

three threads already; lots of reports.

[terrymor66]

Yeah , felt a good ol' banger out here in Sansai ! Could hear it coming first like thunder ! Maybe I am part dog ! lol

[cmsally]

I'm in the centre of town , that was really strong, almost fell off my chair, only on 2nd floor.

Much shorter but stronger than the last one in Laos.

[meadish_sweetball]

Threads merged.

Whole lotta shakin' goin' on.

[lannarebirth]

I've felt stronger wind gusts, just this week. I pray no one here ever experiences a Japan/California type quake.

I thought it was thunder until the house got a nice little wriggle on.Just changed my trou...

Out in the Wilds of San Kamphaeng it gave the factory a bit of a shake up and the house of straw fell over, the house of sticks has a small amount of structural damage, but the house of bricks is ok.

Not so cool when ur on the 10th floor and the building is shaking

Scared the shit out of me.

[BossHogg]

they do seem to be more frequent. That was only a short one but it really gave the house a rocking. Wifey nearly needed to change clothes.

checking the house insurance policy to see if EQ are covered would be a good idea right now

[PhilHarries]

Only tremor showing up on any monitoring sites is a recent Richter 4 off Saipan but it wouldn't be that you felt but it takes a little time to appear.

Magnitude of earthquakes is marked by duration amongst other things. This one lasted maybe 1-2 seconds. If you have comcern about earthquakes in this region, I seriously suggest you make a plan for what you would do if a more serious quake were to occur.

Nice rattle. Distinctly different from the last one which felt like a smooth wave - this one was choppier and had sound effects too.

Here in town (Changklan) it was quite a whomph. It was just like blowing up an old munitions dump.

[Donnyboy]

got my wife outa bed- what great timing!!

It's those smooth wave ones (if prolonged) that do the most damage. I was in a 7.4 quake once (15 miles from epicenter) that lasted about a minute and felt like a jackhammer. It caused almost no damage , save for clearing a few grocery shelves.

[BossHogg]

its just been on the Thai news...i couldnt understand much but they were talking about 45 meters...depth maybe?

Yes, loud thunderlike sound here in midtown, as other midtowners mention - no sound mentioned by posters from the outer districts. Could this mean a pretty local quake?

[chinthee]

At least you folks living in that area are aware of the real possibility of an earthquake and can make evacuation plans. My wife and I were asleep in our home in Phuket the morning of the Tsunami. A couple hours before the waves hit the bed was rocking and I drowsily asked her if she was kicking the bed. Both of us just snoozed on, never imagining what would strike soon. Mistake. We later were lucky to escape serious damage as we ran and swam for our lives.

Lannarebirth is right. Be ready.

Seemed to have missed this one. Was underground working on one of our research machines.
