Last night at 22.28 a strong earthquake attacked Mindanao. The magnitude was 7.7. We were already sleeping when we felt the earth shook. We were so frightened. We felt the ground moved . We all prayed so hard. The quake lasted more than a minute.
I wasn't able to sleep after that and at 1:40 dawn there was aftershock . I don't understand why we have successive earthquake. The scare and fear seem eternal. Thank you guys for reading.

@Deepizzaguy, you're so lucky. Our place is near Davao City and it's under the Ring of Fire which is why we're affected almost the entire Mindanao.

@celticeagle we're so afraid here. This can't be stopped by humans even technology. Only God through sincere prayers can prevent the attack of an earthquake. We're scared here.

What can never be forgotten is when the biggest tsunami occurred in the Indonesian part of Aceh, killing at least more than 200 thousand people there in 2004. As a result, many earthquake detection equipment were damaged because the earthquake reached 9 SR at that time. We are all part of nature which at any time can eliminate us all, and we always pray every day to avoid the greatest dangers.

@RebeccasFarm, we all cried at home last night. We're so scared. The quake lasted more than 1 minute. It's too fast. The ground seemed like to split, oh God it's scary
