On twitter they are saying they’re feeling pretty noticeable aftershocks yet in Cebu City, a lot of people still standing outside, all of about only 25 minutes ago.
Thank you, Jodster36. The few photos I have had a chance to look are devastating.
I’m praying for everyone suffering from this earthquake!
From twitter:
Danielle Llamasares @philredcross my sis who is a doctor in Tagbilaran, Bohol said that they are attending to a lot of casualties @Gallares Memorial Hosp
Prayers for everybody affected
Thanks for the update, Jodster36.
Yes, especially the 400 year old church. I have a few friends living over there, but thank God they are OK.
USGS now has the depth of the main quake at 20km....!
People outside Cebu business centers are not yet allowed inside buildings due to the Earthquake.
Also: fatalities up to 6 http://earthquake-report.com/2013/10/15/very-strong-earthquake-mindanao-philippines-on-october-15-2013/
Still getting big aftershocks an hour and a half later...
Meant to say 2 1/2 hours later...
Thank you for the update, you are right! :) It's not unusual to find that the initial measurements have changed and will probably change several more times over the next several days. For example, the initial depth had also changed earlier to 56.8 km from the time I first posted this thread.
Oh I agree....!
Thanks for taking time to post, Doofer. Hang in there, you've got a whole host of folks praying for you and all in the Philippines.
Sorry to hear that, Jodster36. Thanks for your updates! You've got incoming Freepmail.
Thank you, Alamo-girl. Bowing my head in prayer again with you.
Thanks and if you hear or read anything new, please post and link it here.
Nothing felt here in southern Mindanao.
Thank you, ch.man. That's good news. One of my friends is from Mindanao with relatives still living there.
Will do....!
