Thank you, BykrBayb. Good to hear that there’s no tsunami threat for Hawaii.
There’s no official tsunami threat listed yet for Alaska and hopefully there won’t be.

You can see the last part of "Deleguete" on the left of the epicenter .. where Alex W is with wife and son.

I’ve read reports from Cebu and the citizens say buildings/houses shook, things fell off shelves, but none reported damage.

I’m here in Cebu and all is well for the most part, just got power back 30 minutes ago.

But just felt another aftershock as I’m typing this.

Thanks anyway. It would have nice if you could have actually posted a link, rather than ask me to go looking.

The info you posted is from a commercial, ip address tracking, news aggregating quasi-blog site located in Belgium.

According to the statement from the commercial, news aggregating, quasi-blog Belgian site owner, the information
you posted is unsourced info that has been gleaned from all over the Internet and then posted on the commercial blog,
which makes it dubious at best.

According to the map, it’s about 50 miles from Cebu.

Doffer, thank you for the first hand account and so good to hear that you're okay and have your power back on.
It's probably best to stay inside until the aftershocks slow down. Aftershocks are earthquakes, too. They're no less significant
than the primary quake. In fact aftershocks are often the cause of serious damage and injuries, especially following a major earthquake.

Prayers for all in the area. Stay safe!

[Doofer]

I know that Mall, it’s located in Cebu City about 10 miles from where I live.

Knarf, thanks for the information on Alex W and his family's locale. Freeper Doofer is on Cebu and posted during an aftershock that the power just came back on.

Prayers continuing that all will be safe.

Pinging the Prayer Warriors.
