This is a 2nd time this year (and probably in the last 20 years or more!) EQ in my neck of the wood has made the news.

Although it happened in Burma it was right on the infamous Golden Triangle (once opium country and probably still is to a lesser extent) between Thailand and Laos.

Atleast 25 dead in Burma and 1 in Thailand. I'm quite certain there must be some casualties or injuries too in Lao side of the border but due to the underdeveloped nature it hasn't make the news yet. Keep in mind that it was fortunate that the location is sparesly populated.

What is amazing is that it was actually felt all the way down to metropolitan Bangkok which is nearly 1,000km away and all the way to Hanoi, but in my city Vientiane which is less than half the distance to Bangkok was not felt or at least not being reported at this moment unlike the 4.6 last time which we felt it.:

  • Thanks Shadow, you too and everyone else stay safe.
  • Thank you Diana, Raina and Jason and Cheryl. As death toll risen to 75 in my neighboring countries I thank God as well that we are spared once more.
  • I know how that is, also.  My kids say that I am always telling them about upcoming events that never happen.  The problem is they don't connect the dots.  I can't help but be frustrated.  Anyone can go outside and just look up at the moon and know something is going on.  Haiti, Chile, China, Christchurch, & now Japan's EQs so close together.  The economy is bad and I have been warning people for years.  And the one world gov't is almost upon us.  I am the only one who is making preparations.  And I am the one who is crazy because I keep warning them about things that never happen and  ... They are definitely happening!  Good luck, Sonny.  I think Diana is right.  We will survive.
  • Sonny, When we were preparing for Y2K, an alarm went out of food shortages, etc.  I found space under couches, under the beds, in closets.  And it was a good feeling when the worse did NOT happen.  Of course I had enough dried beans and rice for the whole neighborhood, for a couple of years.  My genuine thought is that collective prayer CAN change the worst of outcomes, and I believe with all my heart, that our little 'family' here IS making an impact on this Planet X monster headed our way, and that we will make it... if not all of us, then most of us...Please do not worry what anyone else thinks of you at this point... you will be known as 'slightly crazy' for your preparations, but that is OK!
  • I have done as much as I could in stocking up some can foods and water already and some hardware tools. Its very limited in what you can do when you don't have an inch of land (outdoor portion of ones property). It difficult still when the rest of your family are not willing to prepare for 'it'.
  • Oh! and no Yakuza!
  •  Add to my frustration there's not much studies, documentation and information on fault lines formation in this corner of the world. It will be devastating if deadly EQs shall strike my city and country Laos as we never have EQ disaster before or other natural disaster for that matter. Laos government would be absolutely useless in their ability to help anybody! No money no experience no experts no training no organisation no emergency preparation no awareness no worries no building codes......and anything else you can think of we probably don't have them either!  
  • I hope you have your own plans.  I don't expect much (if any) help around here either.
