CSS Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 At 21:36 I felt a minor earthquake. It only lasted for a second but I could definitely feel it and the class of water sitting on the table was splashing. I was wondering if anyone else felt it? It hasn't showed up on the usgs website but it may later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goski Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 I would be interesting to know where in Chiang Rai you live, in case it happens to be in the middle of Highway no 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the link: http://www.tmd.go.th/en/earthquake_report.php It's the quake listed on the 15th but the location (lao-burmese border 97 km distant from Chiangrai) is written in Thai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSS Posted May 16, 2007 Author Share Posted May 16, 2007 Now I just felt another one at 15:57. This one was much stronger and much longer. I know some of you felt that one. Several of my co-workers felt the one last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

svenivan Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 (edited) I felt the one just before 4pm. It was long, at least 5 seconds because I looked out the window, then ran out on the balcony and it was still going on. It was an earthquake in northeast Laos, epicentrum just 122 km from Chiang Rai. 6.1 on Richterscale. There was a small one maybe 5 minutes after. Just an aftershock(shake). edit: should be 110 km NE of Chiang Rai Edited May 16, 2007 by svenivan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
