After staggering in with the missus at 5am on Sunday morning Jack, I needed an early night, lol.

The earthquake did not wake me but the missus shaking me in panic and shouting "earthquake" woke me for a minute.  Bed wasn't shaking so rolled over and went back to sleep.  She is always worried the huge mirror on the wall will break loose in an earthquake and kill us in out sleep.  Anything is possible but it does not stop me from a good night's sleep.

I'd be more worried about the mirror on the ceiling breaking loose.

We felt last night's Bukidnon quake here.

It started weak and mild and increased to a fairly modest rolling and bouncing to us and lasted less than one minute. It did not have the strength or jolting feeling of those last three 6+ earthquakes. Philvolcs says 5.9 at 21:22 near Kadingilan with a whole slew of aftershocks from 1.7 up to 3.8 with most around 2-3. We think it felt closer to about 5 or so here and, so far, only felt an aftershock about 1/2 hour later at 3.8.

Hope everyone is okay and that there is no damage.

Gf has told me that her walls now have cracks in them after last night

Her son is missing some classes at school because part of the school has been damaged a Calanan grande

Sorry to hear that. Is that at your place near Mintal?

I was already planning on going to the home site this morning. I don't think there will be damage, but you never know how it felt there vs. 15 kms. away here in the city.

Stay safe everyone.

Some of the family said it felt very strong at their house at DeMalina, whole house swaying but the only obvious physical damage was to some fiberboard where coconuts fell through a veranda surround.
