Personal for me since my daughter in law is from there. She’s trying to reach out but a) infrastructure damage and b) everyone else is trying too.
Edit 6.4 aftershock 12 minutes later.

Edit Map for those unfamiliar. Epicenter was NW of Sagaing, close to Mandalay, pretty much dead center of the country.
Buildings damaged completely collapsed as far away as Bangkok.
See dots on map.
Update from my daughter in law:
"I just spoke with my mom. Fortunately, my family is safe, but there are some damages to our house (Yangon) and my dad’s office (Naypyidaw).
I’ve heard that it is worse in Bangkok. My second brother is currently visiting there, and my family is trying to reach him."
Photos from Naypyidaw:
Cracked open a rooftop swimming pool in Bangkok turning it into a waterfall(!)

Well not so much cracked open…just sloshing around like water in a tub and overflowing on the sides. Still scary AF… imagine you being in that pool at that moment 😐
