A magnitude 6.6 occurred in the Samar Sea of the Philippines yesterday. At least one person has died and dozens of others have been injured. The quake damaged numerous homes, bridges, and buildings, including 2 coronavirus quarantine centers. The victim was a retired police officer. His death was a result of getting pinned under the debris of a three-story house that collapsed in the coastal town of Cataingan according to authorities. Rescuers were trying to find members of his family who were still missing late Tuesday. The earthquake hit just after midnight local time. It was centered around 3 miles from Cataingan with a focal depth of 13 miles. More than 40 people were said to be injured and about 100 others who were undergoing coronavirus quarantine were forced to evacuate two damaged government buildings, officials said. There has not been much else going on elsewhere in the world. However, there is still a high potential for more significant activity somewhere. At the same time, there may be hardly anything else going on out there for now. Other places of possible concern include: Bonin Islands(Japan), Indonesia(Java, Banda Sea, Flores Sea, or Molucca Sea), Central Asia(Hindu Kush region, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Xizang-China), Aleutian Islands(Alaska), Central America, Greece or the Eastern Mediterranean region, Tonga, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Fiji, Kermadec Islands, Chile, Peru.. There has been some steady burning activity in Southern California so far. More magnitude 3+ anytime within the next several days might be on the rise. There may also be more going on in other parts of California.
