Thanks for your concern August. I am well north of the Earthquake.
I have friends in Cebu and I have spent a week on the Island of Panglao, Bohol.
I have also been to Tagbilaran city.
"The quake was centered about 620 kilometers (385 miles) south-southeast of Manila, near Catigbian, and its depth was 20 kilometers (12 miles), according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The Philippines disaster council gave the temblor a slightly higher rating, 7.2 magnitude."
I hope our members from Japan are also safe and well.
Drew and Guy Gene and anyone else I have overlooked.

Tokyo (CNN) -- At least 17 people have died and hundreds of flights have been canceled as Typhoon Wipha pummeled the Tokyo area on Wednesday.
A local government official in Oshima, a small island 120 km (75 miles) south of Tokyo, said that a majority of the people died after heavy rain triggered flooding and landslides that blocked roads and crushed houses.
Rescuers were unable to reach about some people in the area hit by landslides.
More than 500 domestic and international flights were canceled at Tokyo's Narita and Haneda airports and the national rail operator halted bullet train services in central and northern Japan."
