    I've just read on Twitter, though there's no news articles on it just yet.

    Thought to be 7.9 on the Richter scale, and there has been a tsunami warning issued for Indonesia, Japan and Papua New Guinea. :(

    Fortunately it was under the sea so not many people were killed. One person is reported dead after their house collapsed.

    I think there are still tsunami warnings but nothing has happened yet.

    I hope no one gets hurt.

    Cue crazy people blaming the homosexual rights movement.

    Everyone I know lives in or around the Manila area, and are all ok. None of them even knew an earthquake had occurred.
