Hopefuly ,no one hurt or injured

Hmmmm...... 3.5 already makes headlines here..... wonder what would happen in the North of Thailand if there is a 7.2 quake like I have experienced on the 11th floor of a hotel in Mex DF in April this year....

Earthquake here is not new. I'd be more worried if a asteroid hit like mexico.
