@ai6yr MMI scale for selected cities in Southeast Asia, including Mandalay, Kyaukse, & Taungoo at MMI IX, Yamethin, Sagaing, & Pyinmana at MMI VIII, and Yangon & Bangkok at MMI V. Table cropped from https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/us7000pn9s/pager at 7:38 p.m. EDT.

@ai6yr Mandalay has ~1.4 million people in it. It's right in the center of that MMI VIII (8) zone. I posted this elsewhere, but JFC. https://www.usgs.gov/programs/earthquake-hazards/modified-mercalli-intensity-scale #Burma #Myanmar #Mandalay #Thailand #earthquakes
I'll let y'all draw your own conclusions on this. https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/us7000pn9s/pager

Here's the scale for my 2nd post above. The inner region marked is MMI VIII (8). Looks like it's about 200 miles long? 
https://www.usgs.gov/programs/earthquake-hazards/modified-mercalli-intensity-scale #Burma #Myanmar #Mandalay #Thailand #earthquakes
There have been ~15 earthquakes so far above Richter scale 4 within ~100 miles of the initial 7.7 quake near Mandalay. It's a seismically active area, but geez. #Burma #Myanmar #Mandalay #Thailand #earthquakes
