Rotweiler Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul888 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 (edited) 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 Edited May 5, 2014 by Paul888 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anto Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Felt it strongly just outside the center of Chiang Mai City .Time 6.10 pm . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiddlesticks Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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

villagefarang Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckamuck Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Just has two more good aftershocks, There must have been 10 by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotweiler Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share Posted May 5, 2014 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.
