Philippines Earthquake Update Tsunami Generated, Magnitude 7.6 Quake Strikes Mindanao

A major magnitude 7.6 earthquake just struck east and offshore of the island of Mindanao in the Philippines. This quake was a megathrust event, and as a result caused some damage, created large cracks in the ground, and even generated a tsunami. This video will discuss the earthquake which just occurred, its aftershocks, and the liquefaction danger it might have caused. Note: As of December 3rd, 2023 at 10:09 pm local time in the Philippines, there is no active tsunami warning or advisory in the Philippines.
