The building was rattling for about a minute which caused people to panic and run outside. We should have breaking news on this quake shortly to assess possible damage around the island. A large military exercise "Valiant Shield" is currently being held on Guam. No tsunami warning posted at this time. Quoting: Silverblade11 Stay Safe, I will pray for you |

We normally have small brief quakes that hit the island at least once a year; however, this quake caused people to panic. Almost all buildings on Guam are made of re-reinforced concrete because we live in Typhoon Alley. Many our military service members who came for training from HI, Okinawa, and CA for "Valiant Shield" probably were shocked to say the least. |

Missiles fired Monday as part of the military exercise Valiant Shield sank a Vietnam War-era landing tank ship 247 miles northeast of Guam. U.S. Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps personnel participated in the exercise that fired missiles and other weapons from ships and planes, sending the scrap ship USS Fresno into the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, according to Valiant Shield 2014's Joint Information Bureau. The USS Fresno saw extensive service during the latter stages of the Vietnam War, and earned two engagement stars for service, the information bureau stated. |
