Earthquake

Two days ago, there was a 7.0 earthquake on the border of northern Thailand, Laos and Burma. That part of the world there are few people, so I have read that only one person was killed. We were watching TV in our apartment at night when it happened and we both felt the building swaying back and forth. Really scary being 16 floors up in a concrete building! So we grabbed our passports, cash and the laptop and we ran down 16 flights of stairs and outside. Luckily our fears were validated as there were hundreds of people outside standing in the street looking up at their respective apartment buildings. We waited out there for 20 minutes or so and then went back in and upstairs. We hope that was it for a while.
