We live about 150 km from the epicenter and it simply felt like being on a boat. Lasted about 45 seconds. No damage at our place, none at all.

one resident of Quellon was quoted as saying "I have lived here for the past 10 years but never felt something like this".

This is terrible.

must have jolted everything.

Praying for their safety.

the warning issued included that there could be tidel waves as high as 3 meters.

Tsunami alert has been knocked down to a "state of precaution". No real indication that there will be a tsunami.
