A major 6.8 earthquake hit Shwebo, Myanmar on Sunday, November 11, 2012, at 01:12:38 UTC, at a depth of 9.8 km (6.1 mi).
This major earthquake collapsed a bridge, damaged several Buddhist pagodas and left at least six people dead and 25 injured, according to local news reports.
"This is the worst earthquake I felt in my entire life," Soe Soe, a Shwebo resident told the Associated Press by phone.
She said a monastery collapsed and several sculptures from another pagoda in the town were damaged.
Temples were also damaged in Mogok. Damage to old Buddhist temples is common during earthquakes in Myanmar. A stupa in Mogok also reportedly crashed down in Sunday's quake.
The quake was also felt in Bangkok, Thailand. The quake hit just a week before Obama's scheduled visit to Myanmar. Do you suppose the Southeast Asian continent is rejecting his arrival?
Four major (>5.9) earthquakes have hit in the last four days! Jesus said these signs would appear before He returns, "Nation will rise against nation, kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines, pestilences and earthquakes in divers places" Matthew 24:7.

Jesus said, "Blessed are those servants whom the Master, when He comes, will find watching" Luke 12:37.
Jesus also said, "When you see these things, know that it is near (His return), even at the doors" Matthew 24:33.
