A magnitude 7.1 earthquake struck 63 km east of Pondaguitan, Philippines about an hour ago. A tsunami warning was initially issued. The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology said that damage and aftershocks were expected. The earthquake was at a depth of 65.6 km(40.7 miles). The U.S. National Weather Service said that there was no risk of a tsunami for the west coast from the earthquake. Hawaii Emergency Management said Hawaii faced no tsunami threat either. There still may be more serious activity going on in the world. It fell quiet earlier, but it spiked back up.
