Quake 3

(The epicenter was in Mindaro, which is right at the center of this map)


A magnitude 6.0 (ish. Estimates vary slightly) earthquake struck the northern Philippines on Tuesday.

There have been no reported casualties. Actually, there haven't been very many reports; look at what Travelagent:

"A 6.1 earthquake hit the Philippines today, Thursday, March 25, in the Mindoro region of the country. The epicenter was approximately 86 miles from capital Manila and was felt in Quezcon City on the island of Luzon and also in Lubang Island, according to CNN."
At this time there is no immediate report of damage or injuries.
Stay tuned for more updates."

I could link six news sources and they won't tell you much more than that. They too seem to have my idea of filler by taking space to describe the Richter scale or the Philippines.

But anyway, this is the third earthquake this year. 2012 is approaching alright. But considering the US's chummy relationship with the archipelago, one might think we could spare some aid if it turns out some buildings were destroyed or people found dead. Yay foreign policy

No relation to the actual game Quake.
