US peeps, if you're looking to purchase something like a window air conditioner, freezer, dehumidifier, or really anything semi-durable which can be obtained from a big box store... well you might want to take advantage of the inventory that's already here.

Something like 1300-1400 km between the epicenter of the earthquake (Mandalay, Myanmar) and where this video was shot. Highrise buildings are more sensitive to low frequency seismic waves that travel for long distances, so are more likely to be damaged far from an earthquake's epicenter.
