1948 Lady Caycay earthquake
The 1948 Lady Caycay earthquake occurred with a surface wave magnitude of 8.2 at 01:46 PST (UTC+08:00) on 25 January 1948. The epicenter was between the municipalities of Anini-y, Antique and Dao (present-day Tobias Fornier in Antique) on Panay Island, Philippines.
The earthquake was the second biggest on record in the country〔 as it caused widespread damage in Panay and nearby islands. However, accounts of its intensity and the tsunamis it generated are sparse, possibly because the earthquake struck as the Philippines was recovering from the effects of the Second World War.
==Etymology==
''Caycay'' is the Hiligaynon term describing the scratches on the ground similar to those made by chickens. The effects of the earthquake, which chiefly manifested as fissures on the ground, were said to be similar to chicken scratches.〔 Much of Iloilo province lies on soft ground, which is one of the possible reasons for the numerous fissures that appeared, especially in low-lying parts of the province.
