Having been in multiple earthquakes and a couple really good ones, I can attest to worrying about a building coming down, but gol dang. I never once thought about a rooftop pool washing me off the street below.

More on the quake here:

More than 153 people have been confirmed dead in the most powerful earthquake to strike Thailand in nearly 200 years, with officials warning that thousands of people are feared dead. 

At least 144 people were killed and 732 injured in war-torn Myanmar by the powerful 7.7 magnitude quake which struck near the city of Mandalay this morning.

At least 10 people died Bangkok, where a high-rise under construction collapsed. 

Around 16 people were also injured in the Thai capital, and 101 are missing from three construction sites, including the high rise.  

Thai Deputy Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul added that there is a possibility more bodies will be found in the rubble of the building. 

MailOnline understands that hundreds of rescue workings remain at the site as they frantically try to pull out construction workers who remain missing.
