Tywais Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justcruisin Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolf5370 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Why did you close the longer, earlier, thread in favour of this one? Are you at least going to merge them? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been an adrenaline junkie too long LOL. 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Sparkles Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 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.
