marioc Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 I live near the airport and I definitely felt it. It's been a short and strong shake, at exactly the time they are reporting. It looked more like an air displacement caused by some kind of explosion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As is normal in Japan, all our large, tall furniture (amoires. dressers, sideboards, TV, etc.,) was bolted to the walls so didn't fall over on us, but the quakes shook us out of bed and scared the living daylights out of us! Two of the quakes sounded like freight trains coming through my living room. The third was absolutely silent. I don't like earthquakes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webfact Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Magnitude 5 earthquake may hit Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai in next 10 years Thailand’s northern provinces of Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai may face a magnitude 5 earthquake, as measured on the Richter Scale (ML), in the next 10 years after a 4.1 ML tremor shook seven districts of the two provinces on Friday night, according to the Department of Mineral Resources. The forecast is based on analysis of movements in the Mae Tha fault lines, including the 5.1 ML quake on December 13th 2006, the epicentre of which was under the Mae Rim district of Chiang Mai. Geological studies of earth strata at Ban Pong Samakkhi, in Doi Saket district of Chiang Mai, indicate that the area experienced a 5.9 ML quake about 2,000 years ago.

That´s nice of them to let people know. What should they do? Move out of their house today and move back again after 10 years, just as a safety measure? You can never be too safe and secure when it comes to family, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dellboy218 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 There have been no reports of damaged buildings, roads, dams or casualties. Bit difficult to damage the road. You could bomb the 118 and no one would notice the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two of the quakes sounded like freight trains coming through my living room. The third was absolutely silent. I don't like earthquakes I went through well, i guess tens of earthquakes (part of my job) and they make noise, but the further you are from the epicentre, the more it will be in the infrasound range (like a heavy truck on a road nearby...) or even lower. P-waves can be in the 30-40Hz range and transferred to the air; S-waves are silent but can be felt. Closer to the epicentre, it is often in the audible range for humans as higher pitch waves haven't been absorbed to heavily yet. That's of course independent of any human-related noise (furnitures, buildings, cars, not so rigid materials, etc.). So I'm just talking about the sound it makes in the middle of dry flat field.
