Earthquake Rocks Luzon

September 18, 2009 by

 

A magnitude 6 earthquake hit the province of Mindoro early Friday afternoon, the United States Geological Survey reported. The earthquake hit at around 2:23 p.m., USGS said.

 

 

I’m not sure what the magnitude was in Metro Manila (supposedly 3-4 in Richter scale) but being on the top most level of a building in Pasig, I felt the shake and it was quite nerve racking.
