    Howw could anyone not feel that, all the extra rebar we added during construction just paid off big time.

    Yup, a really good 60 seconds shake here in Bagacay of Dumaguete. have never felt one that strong since I left San Francisco ( had a proclivity for living in dangerous places, it seems; nothing like this ever happens in Korea). Two notable aftershocks have been felt so far. We might be in for many more.

    No visible damage to my house -- like Manzanita, i'm glad that we spent the money to build it right. Water, electricity and internet have stayed on -- there is a surprise and a blessing, somebody in the city is doing something right.

    Thanks for the info just posted above.

    The mall emptied out fast. Including us; we'll finish our shopping tomorrow.

    I imagine mall workers have to stay at their posts during an earthquake?

    The ground was still shaking under our car in the parking lot..
