Earthquake / Volcano

At around three in the morning, Katrina sent me an SMS telling me that there had been an earthquake. She mentioned also that it was a strong one as well (I wasn't awake to notice it). Thankfully, give credit to engineers who came up with retrofitting and other counter-earthquake devices, Robinson's Summit is still standing (and my hunnie is still in one piece).

Scary thing though is that this may be an indication that an active volcano is about to blow. Yep... Bulkang Mayon is known to be active recently.

Back in 1990, the folks here in the Philippines experienced a monster earthquake, ranging from a magnitude of 6 to 7 on the Richter scale. A year later, one of the worst (if not, the worst) volcanic eruptions occured - Mt. Pinatubo.

I hope that Mt. Mayon won't blow up soon. Think of the people...

** Side note: According to PHIVOLCS, the earthquake was measured at 6.2 on the Richter scale (that really was a rocker...). For more info, go to: http://news.inq7.net/breaking/index.php?index=2&story_id=11291
