Hit by 6.9 Earthquake but I’m Ok

[Nob]

Around 9.45pm last night, Cebu was hit with a 6.9 Earthquake & lasted around 45secs but felt longer when you are several floors up on top of a hill…luckily no damage done in our building & our condominium but as of this writing there are 22deaths & 37injured but it’s expected to rise..there have been 397 aftershocks recorded since & we felt the bldg continue moving so still a little unnerving. Power cuts are being rotated until the grid can make repairs & power stations check there facilities before powering up once more.

It’s scary stuff living through a major quake

All bikes are Ok too

I'm glad you're OK. I thought of you when I heard the news.

That is concerning, glad you are aok, but tough for those that lost possessions and livelihoods and of course those injured or lost family. Disasters aside, I think the RB readership would love to hear what cycling is like over there generally and what you have experienced while out and about on 2 wheels.

Currently 69 dead more than 150 injured with most of the damage in the North of the island around Bogo City where the epicenter is.

We are still getting aftershocks & I can feel our building move so with two weeks of aftershocks to come we are not out of the woods yet. Last movement felt just over an hour ago.

Please tell me your sponsorship influence didn't force them to ride a single 60T chainwheel and a 12-18 block

around here you need more like 34/50 chainset with 13-32 cassette.

We had a couple of small aftershocks last night as you could feel the bldg move just a tiny amount & this we’ll be going on for at least 2 weeks. Death toll now at 72 Power fully restored in the Metro Cebu now but still down at the epicenter of the quake.
