November 9, 1828 Earthquake: Manila, Philippines

Reference #414:

1828, November 9, 18:30 [local time]. There was an earthquake at Manila in the form of long-period regular oscillations, lasting 2 or 3 minutes, which appeared to come from the south. The damage was not extensive: the arches in two churches collapsed, the buttress collapsed in still another church, many homes cracked, and the jail was damaged lightly. There were no victims. After the earthquake, the water in the Pasig River rose to a level reached only in the rainy season, and inundated the floodplains near shore. The next day, the water level fell below its usual mark as far as it had risen above the norm on the previous night (Perrey, 1860 b; Maso, 1895, 1910 a, 1926; Repetti, 1946) Iida et al., 1967). Berninghausen, 1969; Cox, 1970). [Iida et al. express doubt that this phenomenon was a tsunami.
