Strong quake in Philippines triggers tsunami warnings and evacuations
“MANILA, Dec 2 (Reuters) - Evacuations were under way in the Philippines after a quake of at least magnitude 7.5 struck the southern region of Mindanao on Saturday, triggering tsunami warnings in the country and in Japan, though a U.S. agency said the risk of large waves had passed.
The U.S. Tsunami Warning System, which initially warned of waves of up to 3 metres above the usual high tide level, later said there was no longer a tsunami threat.”
