Ok, so the earth shook just a little more than a minute ago. Am I the first Filipino to blog about it? (Was sitting in front of the computer when it happened.) See also this previous post.

Update, 1 March 2006. Hmmm… It seems two or three bloggers beat me to it according to Technorati. Most likely they were closer to the epicenter. I’ll update this post when Phivolcs has a report on it.

Update, 2 March 2006. It was a mild earthquake (magnitude 4.7) according to Phivolcs. It measured somewhere between intensity 2 and 3 from where I was and lasted less than 30 seconds. (Learn more about the Mercalli Scale.) Finally, look at this really cool intensity map.
