Major earthquake gelt here - Wiang Pa Pao Valley. I was inside when the house started shaking. Quick check shows wall and concrete driveway cracks. Roof appears intact - more later.

Seemed pretty strong in Ban Mai also, lasted around 20 seconds, but have not found any damage to the house yet. Couple of small after shocks barely noticeable.

Seems nearer (or stronger earthquake) than the ones from a couple of years ago.

Edit: Third aftershock longer and more powerful

The US Geo reports that it was a 6.3 centered 32 km from CR. No wonder my house was a rocking'. Only damage that I can see was my clock fell off the wall and is now in a number of pieces. Decided to take the car out of the carpark for the evening. It's easier to get to if there is no debris on it. biggrin.png

5 kms East of city, fairly strong, no damage, scared cats, boy of 17 not move from the computer!

Watching Mrs Lannaman strim the grass, she looked as if she thought she was drunk!

I'm NW of C.Rai a short distance. Felt it at 6:08 / 6:09

I'm from California, so it's a rush. Hope nobody got hurt.

This is the 4th significant quake I've felt here in 16 years. I even felt the one which damaged Phuket with waves. On Boxer day morning, early, I was sitting at cheapo table, and it started rocking slightly.

Being 55 km East of Chiang Rai we are not in the sweet spot and only felt the first one. The sliding glass doors were rattling a bit and just now felt our first aftershock.

One (new) crack in a wall; 1 crack in the concrete driveway (that I hadn't noticed before).

Total extent of the damage - not bad considering we are only 50 km from the epicentre.

Crazy - second earthquake here in in the past 8 years. NEVER one in my previous life.
