Things are rattling in my house in Laguna. How about you?

Chalong just got a good shake.

Sitting in a restaurant and I felt giddy.

It was shaking here in Kamala and seems to have stopped,

lasted about 4 minutes

<deleted>!!!

Lying on the couch in Patong and the ceiling fans started shaking a bit. Also a minute or two later.

Never noticed a thing here in patong ...

HAVING lived in Japan this is all to common to me. But as yet nothing on any official site. Dont go to the beach and tell people to get clear.

Felt it in Chalong. About 2 bursts 30 seconds each.

I was on a call with a friend of mine, he said the whole room was shaking. He's near the phuket airport.

Edited April 11, 201214 yr by phuketrichard

BBC have said there has been a Tsunami warning issued

Which begs the question; are we going to get a tsunami warning?

http://www.bbc.co.uk...d-asia-17675399

An earthquake with a magnitude of 8.9 has struck under the sea off Indonesia's northern Aceh province.

The quake triggered a tsunami warning across the Indian Ocean region.

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said it was not yet known whether a tsunami had been generated, but said authorities should "take appropriate action".

The region is regularly hit by earthquakes. The Indian Ocean tsunami of 2004 killed 170,000 people in Aceh.

Brother in law works at Meridien Patong. He knew nothing, they are doing nothing. 2 minutes ago.

Singapore and Malaysia felt it too
