The Philippines was rocked by an undersea quake on Friday at a 7.6 magnitude. It has triggered tsunami warnings across the region with at least one house collapsed and power knocked out from several cities.

The tsunami alert was first issued for such countries as Japan and the Pacific islands, along with the Northern Marianas. Most were lifted, leaving warnings for the Philippines, Indonesia, and Palau.
