Not good. That’s big enough to knock down a bunch of buildings there.

Hoping they’re OK.
BTW, just the other day there was another post on how “oriental” is offensive....

It'd have to be a 106.5 for ME to feel it in Pennsyltucky !
My ex-pat friend just pinged me and I posted it
My Filipina wife is on the right now to home not that far from the epi-center

Duterte stamped his foot a little too hard. Any more and, like Guam, the PI could capsize :-)

Didn’t they just have a bombing in Davao a couple weeks ago?

Yes, this earthquake is not related to the bombing.

Frank, Girlie has a cousin in Davao. I just messaged her to check on her. That cousin is also a cousin to applicant #2.

Well, the Philippines ARE in that "ring of fire," subject to many quakes.
Here in California (earthquake state) ALL the new homes/buildings have to be built of wood or concrete. Both bend. Bricks DON'T bend; they crumble.

Yup

Yes, thats why buildings there take that into account, as well as typhoons of course. Its a very difficult place as far as building requirements, everything in nature just wants to destroy the works of man.
They are great users of reinforced concrete, and have been since reinforced concrete was invented, many of the early examples of that can be found in the Phils., they have been quite high tech that way.
Rebar is really useful and gets stuck into hollow block construction. Roofs are light materials. Steel frames are common.
Poor people live in homes built of light materials. The downside of that is vulnerability to typhoons and fires.
