Tago, Philippines — A magnitude 4.6 earthquake struck about 7 kilometers northeast of Tago in the Philippines on Friday, the U.S. Geological Survey reports.

What happened: The quake hit at 12:06 PM CT on October 30 (1:06 AM local time on October 31 in the Philippines), at a depth of about 10 kilometers. Its epicenter was located near Tago, on the island of Mindanao. The Geological Survey reported no tsunami threat from this earthquake, and no felt reports or damage reports were listed at the time of this report.

Impacts: Shaking from a quake of this size is usually felt near the epicenter, and it can rattle homes and wake sleepers, though serious damage is uncommon at this magnitude. Officials had not reported injuries or significant damage when this story was published, and that picture can change as local reports come in.

What to do:

- If you feel shaking, drop, cover, and hold on until it stops.

- Stay away from windows, heavy furniture, and anything that could fall.

- After the shaking, check for hazards like broken glass, gas smells, and cracked walls before moving around.

- Be ready for aftershocks, which can follow in the hours after a quake.
