    My baby boy poohed his diaper at the same time the big one hit. Wondered if it was just a coincidence of it scared the crap out of him... Either way he had a big smile on his face :-)

    Are we in an area at risk for a tsunamai or some such here in Dumaguete? Should I be fleeing to Valencia for the day?

    Heh, me & my lady were in the 2nd-floor shower at the time, both covered in shampoo, WORST possible timing... Slowly-building eroticism turns into WTF??? Didn't know what to do if it kept on... If we'd run out front in the nude, the neighbors'd be talkin' bout it for years... :-) But we didn't.

    Yeah, as the strait narrows just N of Dumaguete, seems like a Tsunami hitting our north coast (Tanjay to Sibulan) would be theoretically possible if the wave was heading south. Let's hope it's only very small if anything....

    wild rumors just swept our neighborhood, that Duma is on Level 2 tsunami alert and even that water is already surging over the Boulevard. We moved important stuff to 2nd floor real quick, videos of Japan a year ago in-mind. But latest word from guy with handphone is that all that's false, wave is only heading for Cebu if-anything. Hmmmm, gets the adrenaline pumpin'...
