Valentine Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
