    Philvolcs saying a whopping 7.3. It was hundreds of miles from us but house shaken, lights swinging, all the street out in the road.

    Yes, assume that explains why it was felt over such an enormous area.

    This is the Philippines, the only report so far is that Vigan Cathedral is damaged. Hope there is not too much damage in Vigan, a city of historic buildings

    The cause of the earthquake is thought to be Hadlyn Diaz, filipina Olympic weightlifting gold medal winner, got married yesterday and started her honeymoon

    So you are saying it might just been her not putting down the weights gently?
