Strong 6.0-magnitude quake rattles northern Thailand: USGS

[canuckamuck]

Just had one about 15 minutes ago, would have been 4:40 Thai time if computer time is right.

I would say it was a high 4, because we haven't been feeling the low 4's here.

This one had quite a long duration to it, unless it was 2 of them.

My location is about 30K northwest of the magnitude 6 quake.

Here are some recent magnitudes.....

They have no earthquake for the time I mentioned. That is pretty strange because three people in our house felt it, and we weren't all together. outside of this one all of the quakes we have felt were listed on the site.

I did notice there was one around 4:00 pm that was 15 kms from our house. That's getting a little personal

@T-dog that link you gave is missing many of the aftershocks. This site has them all, except for the one I was looking for I guess

Why are people running in the videos above ? It's not much safer out in the streets than inside. Just look at that western guy eating dinner, he was in a real hurry.

More footage from within internet cafés.

I'm in Chiang Rai. Had an aftershock early morning. Didn't look at clock, but would guess about 4:10 am.

there was a slight rumble for 4 seconds, then a clean jerk (pun intended), then 3 seconds of low rumble.

I'm curious to know what sorts of movements are presumed happening. Is it subduction? Or is it one slab slidings alongside another (?) as happens along the San Andreas fault in California.

[canuckamuck]

That was a 4.7 this morning. the fault is a subduction zone, which is good because it would have been worse for everyone with a side slip fault.

[canuckamuck]

Ok just had one at 2:12. Mu guess is 4.5

Let's see if they get this one posted.

the site I am checking is here

[canuckamuck]

Off by 0.2; it was a 4.7. Just behind the town of Mae Suai.

You are getting much too experienced at this Canuck!

[canuckamuck]

You are probably right, we get something every few hours. I'll see if I can get the next one right on.

[canuckamuck]

Well I thought things were slowing down, but my desk just shook again and the windows rattled. And we got the same last night, I think around midnight.

My guess on this recent one is 4.4 at about 7:58 pm Thai time.

[canuckamuck]

Whoops it was a 3.8 we usually don't feel those ones.

[The stuttering parrot]

Hang in there mate!

My thoughts and I'm sure the TV posters share my sentiments.

Hope it calms down and your family and the citizens are safe in these stressful times!

Good luck!

[boomerangutang]

Yup, here in C.Rai, just felt the little aftershock at 7:58. No geckos fell off the ceiling.

[canuckamuck]

11:31AM just had another, but they are getting smaller. Less than magnitude 4 I think

I am getting worse at this. This one was a 4.8 30km southeast of me.

I was the only one in the house that felt it so I thought it was smaller, like last nights 3.8.

[T_Dog]

We felt the small one at 11:55 here in Mae Taeng, and the larger one a half an hour earlier. Odd how it propagates, and how these aftershocks just keep going.

Obviously the work of Allah.

Yeah, the one a half hour earlier was a 4.8. The smaller one at 11:55 was a 2.6 but they both felt the same here.

its all in the depth now,

if they start rising,

thats not a good thing

This is no joke:

a

massive CME just occured and suggests quake watch:

I'm afraid that guy sounds like a big time conspiracy theorist. He's other videos are also.. well interesting.

But out of curiosity, how an CME would cause earth quakes?

Proton bursts pressuring the magnetosphere interacts with the magma, or creates the pressure on the tetonic plates,

but before anyone criticizes,

I am just a guitar player

there is a host of people out there doing the work.

I personally do not know a darn thing about it

Looks like we are heading into tin foil hat territory. CMEs can cause electrical problems on earth with wide spread electrical grids, but earthquakes? Not so sure about that.

[canuckamuck]

5:36pm another one, I guess a magnitude of 4
