The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake had a magnitude of 6.5 and struck at a depth of 6.5 kilometers (4 miles) in Leyte province. The quake caused power outages in Kananga and outlying areas. More than 100 others were injured in the area, including many who were "traumatized and hysterical," he said. The strong shaking caused cracks in some buildings and roads in the city and power was automatically shut off, Gomez said. A magnitude 7.7 quake killed nearly 2,000 people in the northern Philippines in 1990.
