scary. btw, i was in manila during the big baguio quake (i think it was '91 - not sure). we were in quezon city and the shaking came and went very quickly...it was very scary while it lasted though.

it was only till later when we saw the death and devastation further north - very sad.

it's ironic because i'm from earthquake central (california) and never experienced a major quake until i went halfway around the world
