Earthquake Davao

The day the earth shook

It was a normal day in Davao City. People were going about their daily routines, running errands, going to school or work. It was a typical afternoon, nothing out of the ordinary.

Suddenly, at around 2:30 pm, the ground started to shake. The earthquake was strong, jolting people off their feet and causing buildings to sway. It lasted for about a minute, but it felt like an eternity.

In the aftermath of the earthquake, people were left dazed and confused. They had never experienced anything like it before. Some people were injured, and several buildings were damaged, including a hospital and a school.

The earthquake was a major event for Davao City. It was the strongest earthquake to hit the city in over a decade. While some people are still dealing with the physical and emotional effects of the earthquake, the city is slowly recovering.

In the wake of the tragedy, the people of Davao City have shown great resilience.
