We just had an earthquake with a 5.1 magnitude. Fortunately, we did not feel it where we are. But hubby and nephew, who works in the central business district needed to go down from the 24th and 21st floors by the stairs. I am pretty sure those two will feel like beaten up when they get home.

Hope every one of my fellowmen are all safe.

I hope your hubby and nephew are okay and happy to be alive. I need to check in with other Filipino friends and make sure they're okay, too.

For those who felt it and those high up inside a building, it must have been really scary. I am glad I am on the ground floor

I hope so as well since earthquakes scare me more than hurricanes.

That's why I don't like being on the highest floor because if an earthquake occurs, all the electricity will go out and we will have to use the emergency stairs. It's been a long time I never felt an earthquake, I hope everything there is okay.

We felt it here in Manila and we were having our seminar at the 4th floor. We went down but asked to come back to continue the last session.

We are at the south of Manila but we were on the ground floor. Maybe that is the reason why we did not feel it

How frequently do you have earthquakes in your country? It seems like there have been more and more quakes reported across the globe recently. I hope it's not a sign of bad things coming up in the future. And are your earthquakes seismic related, or volcanic related? Your husband and nephew should be happy that they had to go DOWN the stairs, instead of up. At least in their case they were going with the flow of gravity! haha

we have a lot of faultlines and we are located within the Pacific Ring of Fire. I am sure there are shakes everyday but too mild to notice. that is true that they are going down the stairs instead of going up

I just can't imagine having to do down so many flights of stairs. I do hope there haven't been any injuries.

The deeper it is, the less every area would feel it. I dislike earthquakes.
