6.4 earthquake in the Panay region

by tim on July 11, 2011

At exactly 4:47AM an intensity 6.4 earthquake hit the Panay region. The epicenter was in Sipalay and was felt all over the visayas. Iloilo felt intensity 6.0 and it almost toppled me over. I was still working when it happened, it was long about 15-20 seconds or more, am not really timing it because I was shaking really bad. We just carried the sleeping kids downstairs, they were confused and aftershocks were felt a few minutes after. Needless to say, I never want to experience that again, visions of what happened in Japan flashed through my mind… And we’re really close to the sea too… For more details about the earthquake, click here

    I was really in shocked at that time. I thought it was my bed that was shaking or somebody was shaking my bed.

    I bet you are… I was the only one awake and was still working and it scared the hell out of me. We’re in the second floor and we really felt the brunt of it. They are now saying that its a 4.2 for Iloilo but it still felt like 6 and took a really long time
