“According to the National Tsunami Warning Center, hazardous tsunami waves are possible for coasts of the Philippines and Indonesia within 300 kilometers of the epicenter. Officials said there is no tsunami threat to Hawaii or the west coast of the United States.”

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.

Hope everything is ok with you.

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.
