Just 2 minutes ago we had one hell of a shake. Anyone else ??

It was like a bang through our apartment block.

Yes - felt here at the airport

slight tremor in patong

Yup - whole house just shook down here in Rawai. Tell tale ripples on the pool, too.

Yes, in Chalong. Didn't feel the last one, but that was a hell of a bump!

Out by Heroine Monument too. It was a pretty massive boom and shake

That was bigger than the other one.

Yes - a big jolt in Phuket Town.

Yes, tremor here in Chalong.

Heard the noise and tough it was an thunder. Did not feel the shake at Ao Por.

Please keep updating what is hapening. I heard that Central Festival was shaking.

Woke up my siesta in Kathu !!!

I am monitoring the USGS map http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/map/

Far too early for official notice.

Yes we felt it in Patong too

That must have caused my puncture.

Hope its all OK.

Felt it too, and it was bigger than the last one; but it could have been local.

No warning from the Pacific Center so far: http://ptwc.weather....ex.php?region=3

That was bigger than the other one.

PK Town as well. I did not, but wife felt it. I was driving at the time. She was, guess what? Watching tv! Thai tv said it lasted 5 seconds. In news now.

Also here in Koh Kaew across from Royal Phuket Marina, pretty big bang and shake.

More stuff here on twitter; there seems to have been a quake at Sumatra, but a small(er) one.

5.5 quake in Sumatra.

Looks like everyone in Patong is heading for high ground

I am monitoring the USGS map http://earthquake.us...arthquakes/map/

Far too early for official notice.

Now reported by USGS

A short violent shake here in Chalong. My foreman called from Kathu said he felt a sharp jolt & bang. Almost impossible to get through to anyone by telephone so this is probably the best place to keep up with what is happening.

What can we expect?
