6.3 Earthquake Shakes Bhutan

There was indeed an earthquake today felt all across Bhutan. It's epicenter was in the Eastern town of Mungar, approx. 150 km east of Thimpu. No casualties or damages in Thimpu, but unfortunately at least seven deaths in the Eastern part of Bhutan have been confirmed. And I imagine quite severe damage. As for me, I was practicing the keyboard at KILU music school, when all of a sudden in the middle of a passage of Beethoven's Sonata in E minor, Op. 90, it seemed as though my keyboard my moving from side to side, the windows shook and the earth was definitely quaking, but for no more than 2-3 seconds.
