Bangkok office workers were awoken from their mid-afternoon drowsiness by an earthquake measuring 6.1 on the Richter scale.
Preliminary reports from the United States Geological Survey put the earthquake’s epicenter at the junction of the Laos, Burma and Thai borders. It struck at 3:56 pm local time (4:56 am EDT).
While there were no immediate reports of damage or injuries, several office buildings were evacuated and inspected before workers were allowed back in.
A typical Californian, I sat working in my 25th story apartment, completely unaware of the shaking.
That is so funny. 6.1 is a pretty good one though. Happy all are safe.
More interestingly, how do the drama queens react to it?
Aaron: Screaming, shouting, carrying on, feathers flying everywhere. In other words, very hard to tell.
It should be okay. Most of modern high-rise buildings are designed to resist earthquakes.
I like your intro:”workers awoken…from drowsiness…”Anyways, hope everything is well in the upper floors!Just a random thought,”Shake and bake?”
