BREAKING: A tsunami warning has been issued for Philippines and Indonesia
Same depth depth as the two 7+ quakes that struck us last year at this time ( within 28 hours ) here in Kumamoto , Japan .
Hellzapoppin' somewhere every day on the ol' Pacific Ring of Fire.
Largely Muslim region affected.
Though some parts are 50/50 or more.
We were jolted out of bed at about 4:30 AM. Our house was swaying gently, not violently, as it did when I experienced the San Francisco Bay Area, Loma Prieta quake in 1989. I was at San Quentin at the time. That was violent, and scared the inmates too. We are fine. My wife woke me up, and started praying out loud. I don’t know yet about damage or injuries yet.
FYI
Good to know you’re alright.
we didn't feel this one, since we live in Luzon, but we had a minor tremor last week.
we are on an earthquake fault north of Manila, but no major ones since the early 1990s.
We are fine. Thanks for checking. This was nothing, compared to the 1989 San Francisco quake. That was REALLY BAD.
Thanks bro.
Glad you are OK.
We don’t get shook much or often in central Indiana; but when we do...
