Taiwan’s capital was hit by a series of earthquakes overnight into the early hours of Tuesday, with the Central Weather Administration saying the strongest was a magnitude-6.3 tremor originating in eastern Hualien.
The first strong quake — a magnitude 5.5 — hit on Monday at around 5:08 pm (0908 GMT), according to Central Weather Administration. It could be felt in the capital Taipei.
That was followed by a series of aftershocks and quakes, with two intense tremors hitting one after another around 2:30 am (1830 GMT) Tuesday, according to AFP reporters and witnesses in Taipei. more
Only experienced one earthquake in my life, a 5.8 in 2011. Never want to be in one of those again.
As if Taiwan doesn’t have enough trouble already.
It was probably due to something THE COMCHINKS are doing in the ocean in that area!

Cali boy here, born and raised. And I’ll take a little shaking over tornadoes and hurricanes any day. LOL
Anybody seen the whereabouts of Lizzo?
It was probably from RADON GAS! and a hole in the ozone.
You can’t imagine what chaos happens to a semiconductor fab (factory) during one of those quakes and Taiwan makes most of the semiconductors in the world.
“and Taiwan makes most of the semiconductors in the world.”
Not any more. Taiwan Semi has builds running in Phoenix. And the have a huge build in process, in Phoenix. They started moving out of Taiwan about three years ago. Also, once again, that markets on it’s knees again.
Also not to be out done Intel is doing a big build right across the street. But strangely the capital equipment guys are dead in the water. That’s a strange freaken industry.
