Tremors rock Negros Island

I have set the times now in the iPad Quake program. Hopefully the figures are now correct.

A series of tremors rocked Negros Island today, resulting in the deaths to at least 40 or more people. The tremors also caused cracks in numerous buildings. The number of fatalities is expected to rise. Here is our quakes program cut out of the epicenters of the earthquakes.
