A powerful magnitude 6.9 earthquake in southern Philippines killed at least one person Sunday and caused the collapse of a three-story building, sparking a desperate effort to reach an unknown number of people who may have been trapped inside, officials said.
The temblor sent holiday shoppers fleeing from malls in a panic, with people evacuating homes and other buildings as well, according to reports.

I've been in an earthquake that big and it was followed by a 7.2. My knees were like Jello. Fortunately, the epicenters were not in the type of soil to cause massive damage. That was in the Los Angeles area. A smaller magnitude on a different fault could be "the big one".
