Hi Everyone,
A MAGNITUDE 6.9 earthquake struck Cebu Tuesday night, September 30, 2025, sending people out of their houses, triggering a tsunami alert, and prompting local government officials to suspend next day’s classes in all public and private schools.
The shallow tremor, with a depth of five kilometers, struck at 9:59 p.m. Tuesday, with the epicenter located 21 kilometers northeast of Bogo City in northern Cebu.
Safest place in our house is under a door frame. The house really shook a lot and then power went out.
Surprisingly power was restored in 3 hours and WiFi 11 hours later so this is the earliest I can update everyone.
Death Toll most likely to rise as debris of buildings are cleared.
I hope you all are well and safe!
Wen, Mel & Melissa Jeane Waller

Very sorry to hear this, Mel, but I'm very pleased that you and your family are safe.
Be careful in the coming few days as well and I wish your emergency services all the best in dealing with the incident. My heart goes out to those grieving loved ones too.
Stay safe.

Oh my! I wasn't even aware of this until now, but I'm glad you're safe, Mel.
Having experienced a magnitude 7.1 earthquake in July 1990, along with several lower-intensity quakes over the years, I understand the impacts of such disasters.

Good morning Mel,
I'm glad to hear that you are all okay.
The first thing I thought about when I heard about the earthquake, Mel, was you and your family! It's something that many of us have never experienced and don't want to experience. I know that some countries are more prone to earthquakes than others.
Take care and stay safe.

Thanks Roy!
Its one of those things where either Marine Mel has a few seconds to be able to respond or not. Fortunately, I could take action.
Enjoy the rest of your week, Roy.
Mel
I'm just glad to hear that you are all okay, Mel!
Let's be thankful that Marine Mel was able to take prompt action!
Have a fantastic day.
Roy
Yes. Thanks Roy!
Mel
