chiang mai Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Just now, tifino said: same Fault Line as related to the tsunami, it seems to me No, it's the fault line that runs North/South, in Myanmar and then extends down through the Andaman and onwards, having said that, it is a component of the Ring of Fire. Three years ago(ish) in CM was the worst I've felt here, 20th floor and seriously scary - the same fault line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup; the one three years ago moved a lot of stuff around in my glass cabinets up here in CM, that was quite a shaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mamborobert Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 For the Thai readers among posters, cm108 has already started some limited reports. Last time this happened they were pretty quick of the mark getting photos sent in direct from people in Burma and CR, some of the snaps of road damage and crevices or land displacement were unique and impressive. http://www.cm108.com/bbb/topic/1169-1734-น-แผ่นดินไหวพม่า-ขนาด-70-สะเทือนถึงภาคเหนือ/ http://www.cm108.com/bbb/topic/1170-แผ่นดินไหว-70-ริกเตอร์ที่เมียนม่ากระทบถึงเชียงใหม่/ Little now now but probably well worth a look tomorrow for those interested.
