Yes, while I was contemplating my previous discussion earlier, at 7:48 PM a 6.3 Magnitude hit us here in Mindanao. It was I think a very long earthquake and I almost get dizzy. People here make a lot of noise to counter part the what so called bad omen. So far news are all over our city, luckily no one was harm or no casualties but in some areas where the Earthquake was encountered a lot of casualties. Like buildings and streets have cracks. Then our Local Government announced of No classes tomorrow for they are going to check all the buildings and schools for any building defects for safety purposes. Thanks for those myLot members who tag me to their post to check on me. I and my Family are all okay. Thank God.

I am so glad that you and your family are okay. We have Earthquakes in my part of the US but they are very mild. It's usually a situation where we have to question whether we had an earthquake or if it was our imagination.

I am glad that you and your house are okay. Earthquakes are so scary. I felt some good ones in California. A few seconds of shaking feels like forever. I pray for you.
