This Earthquake

Never felt a thing.

looks like 20:38 local time so yes, i guess that was it. it was quite noticeable to me and the wife, 2 separate shakers about 30 secs apart.

Did not feel anything.

No,nothing.

Nothing either. I remember back in 2004 after the tsunami struck, quite a few people in Khao Lak reported having felt an earthquake and/or seen its effects, like a table wobbling, before the event. Myself I noticed nothing, though I was definitely up and about. I have been wondering if it maybe depends on the consistency of the ground you are standing on, like the layer of sand before you hit rock being deep or shallow.

Maybe an earthquake experienced person from an area like California/USA could chip in.

Not felt in Rassada. The only one we ever felt here was the one centered in Thalang in April 2012, which also delivered a huge sonic boom.

I did not felt anything either. For the Thalang (or Koh Yao Yai, according to the USGS) I did not felt it, but heard the sonic boom coming from the north of Phanga bay towards south.

Maybe Steve felt it upstairs?? Being on a second floor may give you more sensitivity to tremors? I am no expert, cough cough.
