yes! reason why mag change 2x ang reports, its because it will take some time to get the real magnitude. it's been reported first from 7.9magnitude, then 30mins later it was proclaimed as 8.8 (thats the time akong gi post), then 15mins later, they said it's 8.9magniture...

bottomline is, this is a pretty big ass earthquake, tsunami warnings have been issued including Philippines. let us pray sa mga affected countries, and to our brothers and sisters naa sa japan for their safety.

even if cebu is not yet on any alert level, let us all be prepared for this unusual circumstance. Prepare your flashlights (make sure you have new batteries), radio, food (canned goods, peanuts, those non perishable kinds), water, first aid kit. Make sure you're far from the shore and stay in high areas. Contact your relatives, especially those who are living near the seas, and warn them. Keep posted with the news and don't panic. Don't forget to pray!!!

God help us!
