A strong earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 6.9 struck the Central Philippines around 10 p.m. local time, according to the US Geological Survey, raising fears about damage and the possibility of a localized tsunami.
The earthquake occurred only 10 kilometers (6 miles) underwater, just west of Palompon in the Philippines.
Fortunately this earthquake occurred in a part of the Philippines that isn't as developed as other areas, but it was close enough to Cebu City and some other medium-sized cities where there will no doubt be some serious damage. I'm already seeing evidence of this on social media. Hopefully the number of casualties will be low.
