Magnitude 6.7 Earthquake in Philippines
A powerful undersea earthquake shook the southern Philippines on Friday, causing ceilings in shopping malls to plunge to the ground as shoppers screamed. No tsunami warning was in effect. The Office of Civil Defense said it was investigating a report of one death. The magnitude 6.7 quake was located 26 kilometers (16 miles) from Burias at the southern tip of the Philippines, the United States Geological Survey said. It was centered at a depth of 78 kilometers (48 miles), it said. Videos posted on social media showed ceilings falling at two large malls as pillars swayed and people cowered and shouted in fear. The SM City General Santos mall and Robinsons GenSan mall announced temporary closures. There were no reports of injuries there. Debris and part of a crane fell from a building under construction in Matina, Davao City, after a magnitude 6.7 earthquake rocked parts of Mindanao on Friday, November 17. |

Re: Magnitude 6.7 Earthquake in Philippines
Holy cow. It is confirmed: The Philippines have more screamers per square mile than any other country in the world.
