Re: 7.2 Earthquake hits Bohol
Very strong here.
Report from British Embassy:
"A major 7.2 magnitude earthquake struck the island of Bohol on Tuesday at 08:12 local time (0012 GMT). The epicentre was 629 km from Manila. Cebu City is about 60 km away. There have been some reports of casualties on Cebu. The initial earthquake was followed by two aftershocks, each measuring more than 5.0 in magnitude. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center did not issue a Pacific-wide tsunami threat.
The United States Geological Survey have issued a yellow warning saying “some casualties and damage are possible and the impact should be relatively localised. Past yellow alerts have required a local or regional level response.”
British nationals affected by the earthquake are asked to contact the Consular Section in Manila at +63 02 858 2200. See Natural Disasters "

Re: 7.2 Earthquake hits Bohol
Daughter's school is closed until 4th November, as it has suffered damage. Luckily it was a holiday when it occurred.
Our house has gained a few cracks from the event.
