It's a terrible disaster, a powerful earthquake and it is a wonder they didn't have thousands of casualties. probably because the quake struck in the wee hours of the morning when office buildings and schools were mostly empty, unlike the quakes that struck China (death toll >100000) and the Philippines (death toll almost 6000, in 1990).
Evacuation in some low-lying areas in the Philippines started today for possible tsunamis, hopefully these will be mild like those that struck Hawaii earlier.
