At around 6 in the morning, my bed shook, and the door banged as if strong winds were blowing. I realized that there had been another earthquake, so I checked the bulletin from the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS).
The epicenter of the earthquake was located in Tarlac, with a magnitude of 5.7. Although Tarlac is three hours away from where I am, the tremor was still felt here. It was also experienced in nearby provinces, such as Zambales and Pangasinan. The shaking lasted for a few seconds and was stronger than the first earthquake that took place the previous day.

@freelancermariagrace They are not very common in the southern region of the U.S. where I live. Western coast, yes.

@kareng That sounds good. What about hurricanes? I have friends in the US who are often affected by them.

We are indeed prone to natural disasters, and that is a sad reality.

I am glad you are okay.
I never heard that in the news maybe because I am too tired from commuting going home, and I have no time to watch the news. So how was everybody?

It did not cause any damage, but PHIVOLCS said that aftershocks are quite expected.
