Earth quake chiang mai just now.

[Tywais]

I just experienced a heavy earth quake in Chiang Mai. Our entire two story house was rocking and rolling in Mae Hia. This is the worse I've felt here in 20 years. TV rattling, front gate rattling.

In the Chang Puak area the whole building was rocking and creating waves in the pool...damn scary. Felt a lot

worse than the last one quite some years ago.

I'm assuming not too many of ya every lived in Alaska. It rocks and rolls like this pretty often. If they don't break anything they're fun!!! I've been an adrenaline junkie too long LOL.

Any major damage?

It had all the tenants of our condo on ChangKlan running outside

It was a 6.0 centered about 17mi from ChiangRai

Large enough to warrant expecting after shocks

Why did you close the longer, earlier, thread in favour of this one? Are you at least going to merge them?

I am from Hawaii & have experienced hundreds of quakes

This one was big enough to worry especially given building structures here

Not to mention being in a condo

Being in a home is another story & less worrisome

This was large & I expect to see damages

Here is some already being reported in Chiang Rai

I went by the time stamp that the very first topic that was posted. Figured I would get some stick for that. Can not merge as per TV policy.

I posted first and you closed the thread.

45 posts Vs 3, and you close the 45 post one.

It must have lost alot of steam by the time it got to C M. But it definitely got my attention.

Tommo/Fitytwo/Aoa gets banned yet again, next name due shortly!

Only Mcot has reported. All local news are a sleep.

[Sparkles]

It was well and truly felt in Bangkok,just rang a friend of mine and his desk on the 4th floor was swaying.

Local TV is showing minor damage in Chiang Rai,roads caved in stuff off shelves , cracks in buildings ,could have been lot worse and rating varying from 5.8 to 6.1 depending what station you are tuned into.
