In the central Philippines, efforts to rescue victims from Monday’s 6.7-magnitude earthquake in western provinces are being hampered by impassable roads and bridges. There are at least 15 confirmed dead.

The worst-hit area is the island province of Negros where at least one landslide in a mountainside town near the epicenter is believed to have buried dozens of people alive. The Philippine Civil Defense Office says all major roads and bridges to that area are badly damaged and difficult to pass.

The government seismic office had recorded more than 900 aftershocks 24 hours after the earthquake struck. Sevilla says diminished aftershocks should be expected for at least another two weeks.

I have a friend from the Philippines, who may still have family there. Nine hundred aftershocks is huge. With all of the earthquake activity around the world it makes you wonder where and when the US will be hit with a big one. There is a lot of quake activity today in California and Alaska.

I'm wondering if New Madrid goes off soon or if that's reserved for the Tribulation?

That quake is definitely attention-grabber


Back in 1994, a remote area in western Nevada had a 6.0 quake with 900+ aftershocks. But they occurred over a period of 49 days; an average of once every 78 minutes.
The average time span for these aftershocks was every 45 seconds.
