Strong quake shakes Thailand, Myanmar

A strong earthquake shook northern Thailand and Myanmar on Monday evening, and some light damage was reported. People were evacuated from the main airport in Chiang Rai, a northern Thai city near the epicenter. Parts of the ceiling and some signs fell inside the airport terminal, but it wasn't immediately clear how flights or the airport runway were affected. Cracks also were visible in some building exteriors and roads, but no casualties were immediately reported. People ran down stairs in office buildings in Myanmar's largest city, Yangon, and severe shaking also was felt in Chiang Mai, Thailand's second-largest. Window curtains briefly swayed in the Thai capital, Bangkok, according to a news agency.
