LAOAG CITY- A strong temblor measuring 5.4 struck at 10:56 am today 23 kilometers southeast of Calayan in Cagayan Valley but caused no damages on property or injury to residents. | |||
The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) said the earthquake was felt at intensity 4 in Calayan and Intensity 3 in Sanchez Mira both of Cagayan province. | |||
The temblor was also felt at intensity two (2 ) in Pasuquin in Ilocos Norte and Laoag City. | |||
It was the first strong earthquake that struck the Cagayan province this month. | |||
According to Phivolcs’ earthquake intensity scale, an intensity 5 temblor is generally felt by most people indoors and outdoors while people asleep could be awakened by the shaking. | |||
The shaking also causes hanging objects to swing violently while dining utensils clatter and clink. It also causes small, light and unstable objects to fall or overturn. Vehicles on idle may also rock noticeably. | |||
