YANGON, Myanmar — Two strong earthquakes struck northeastern Myanmar less
than a minute apart Thursday night. They could be felt as far away as
Bangkok, but a tsunami was not generated.
The first 7.0-magnitude quake was just six miles deep, according to the U.S.
Geological Survey. It was followed by another of the same strength but far
deeper: 140 miles.
The quakes struck along Myanmar's borders with Thailand and Laos, about 70
miles from the northern Thai city of Chiang Rai.
Buildings swayed in Bangkok, 500 miles south of the epicenter.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center says it was located too far inland to
create a destructive wave. |
