SOME residents may have felt the 4.8-magnitude earthquake yesterday at 3:39 p.m., most especially those on the second floor or higher of taller buildings.
According to the U.S. Geological Website, the quake was 88 miles deep and was found 19 miles north of Hagatna, Guam.
The quake was also felt by some residents in Saipan. The quake there was 121 miles southwest. This past month, island residents have felt the earth move a number of times.
