Earlier today, 3 strong earthquakes measuring 7.3, 7.6, and 7.4 struck Moro Gulf, Mindanao, Philippines. The magnitude of the earthquakes seem frightening, however, no damage had been reported as of yet. Some people even slept through the whole thing! The depth of the earthquakes greatly affected the amount of damage they would have inflicted. They were all more than 300 miles underground, and relatively distant from coasts. I think, for a country in the Ring of fire, it was extremely lucky for them to have 3 strong earthquakes in the same area without inflicting any damage at all.
Before anyone gets freaked out and relate this to 2012, as I mentioned above, Philippines locate in the pacific Ring of Fire, where earthquakes and volcanoes are like cars honking on busy streets.
