7.7 Earth Quake strike the Country

I'm a "prepper" and I'm always ready for anything except what I did not prepare for. To be honest I did not feel the quake or anything in where i am although some may have, Good thing damage was minimal for a quake at that magnitude. " God bless the Philippines" and hope very one is safe and continue to be safe!

It was actually reverted to 7.6 in the epicenter. I wasn't at that area but I felt it, everyone did even those in other cities. I was sure people would have panicked if it was a little bit stronger. Whew! We were even waiting for aftershocks and though earthquakes are common in my city, that was different. The shaking was indeed different. Keep safe guys! Have a great mylot experience ahead!

May God be with you! I`ll have you in my daily prayers. And with your emergency lights, you must talk about emergency plans with your family. Where are you going to meet, what are you going to do if any disaster occurs. Take care. Blessings!

Reality is that those of us who live on the Pacific Ring of fire are not safe, it's not a matter of if the question is when. Any who do not recognize this threat just have their heads in the sand. Stay prepared. Blessings

At least there is no major damage reported yet, hope everything will be okay and no one will be hurt seriously.

That sure was a really strong quake, to be felt nationwide. The past strong earthquakes were only concentrated in certain regions, but this one seems to have a wider coverage. We felt the strong shaking here in Cebu, too.

I hope it did not make too much damage

I guess the quake last Friday was a strong one and we were lucky the Philippine Trench somehow stopped us from getting hit by a tsunami. That magnitude was supposed to create a large tsunami but the shape of the trench somehow stop it from creating big waves instead created some small ripples only. Yesterday, I heard from the news that another one hit Mindanao and like the Visayan earthquake, it happened deep in the ocean floor and it also did not create a deadly tsunami as well. I think we are still being spared from major disasters like this. Manila is quite vulnerable if this happens. Since we are densely populated as well as the many infrastructure around the city. I am just fearing that Luzon may just be triggered anytime soon and I am praying that it would not be that strong.

dear LK, I'm on a meeting and we're dismissed soon as we received this alert. Let's pray hard...

Hi Letran Knight: Oh dear, these are really terrible news. I hope you and your loved ones are safe and that people don't suffer too much after this natural disasters. We can't be 100% protected of earthquakes or other natural phenomenon. ALVARO

AT first i didn't feel the quake, Letran. I was at that time walking to the room of my father-in-law's caregiver to store hang my towel, when he said that "ate, lumilindol, (it's shaking). Thus, i stopped and indeed it was. And it became stronger and the chandelier was swinging already. I was planning that we all go outside but it stopped in a while. It was a strong earthquake and it stunned me.
