1. That's a big 'un

I wouldn't want to be anywhere near if it had struck on land. Hope the tsunamis are minimal.

2. The Ring of Fire

7.6 is a disaster for the way some of the structures are built there.

Here's hoping the damage and human suffering are minimal.

4. About 600 Miles South Of...

...where I spent most of the time when there.
I felt a few shakes on different visits & don't remember the magnitudes, but nothing even remotely like this one.

7. "But the center later dropped its tsunami warning."

THANK GOODNESS!

DUer Pototan is in the Philippines. Hope everyone there is safe.

8. Pototan is far from where this quake hit.

He is near Iloilo on the island of Panay which is a few islands away from the epicenter. I am sure he is fine.

Apparently there was no damage even in areas close to the epicenter. Also the tsunami warning was canceled. Surprising given the strength of this quake.
