Magnitude 7.2 Earthquake Hits The Philippines | 7.2 Magnitude Earthquake Rocks The Philippines Posted: 14 Oct 2013 07:38 PM PDT An earthquake with magnitude 7.2 occurred near Tagbilaran, Bohol, Philippines and other parts of the Visayas and Mindanao. Let us pray for all people in Bohol especially my kababayans and other parts of Visayas and Mindanao who has been affected by the earthquake.  Church and roads impacted by large 7.2 magnitude earthquake.   Photos by Robert Michael Poole/ @tokyodrastic on Twitter After: Expect aftershocks. These secondary shockwaves are usually less violent than the main quake but can be strong enough to do additional damage to weakened structures and can occur in the first hours, days, weeks, or even months after the quake. Look for and extinguish small fires. Fire is the most common hazard after an earthquake. Be aware of possible tsunamis if you live in coastal areas. These are also known as seismic sea waves (mistakenly called "tidal waves"). When local authorities issue a tsunami warning, assume that a series of dangerous waves is on the way. Stay away from the beach. Be careful when driving after an earthquake and anticipate traffic light outages. Excerpted from ready.gov ShareTweet c4d3ad3c16a94c66532f845623d7b15e
