- Taiwan's strongest earthquake in a quarter century rocked the island during the morning rush hour Wednesday, damaging buildings and highways and causing the deaths of four people.
Taiwan’s earthquake monitoring agency gave the magnitude as 7.2 while the U.S. Geological Survey put it at 7.4. It struck about 18 kilometers (11.1 miles) south-southwest of Hualien and was about 35 kilometers (21 miles) deep. Taiwan's national fire agency said four people died in Hualien County and at least 57 were injured in the quake that struck just before 8 a.m. The local United Daily News reported three hikers died in rockslides in Taroko National Park near the offshore epicenter.
A five-story building in Hualien appeared heavily damaged, collapsing its first floor and leaving the rest leaning at a 45-degree angle. In the capital Taipei, tiles fell from older buildings and in some newer office complexes, while debris fell from some building sites.

Thanks everyone for sending prayers. Thank you from Taiwan.
I pray for the people of Taiwan. 🕊️🙏🏻♥️
I'm from Taiwan and my house also had some damage from the earthquake..my family is okay and hope everyone will be fine...
I would have to say even with this massive earthquake. The Taiwanese builds and infrastructures can sustain these heavy shocks. Other earthquakes around the world in similar size have killed FAR more ppl.
I am a Taiwanese, and I thank all countries for their concern. I believe that my country will handle the disaster properly and return to normal days as soon as possible.❤

Two volcanoes go off less than two weeks apart and now a 7.4 earthquake. The planet is about to do something BIG.
God bless the people, I'll hate to be on that bridge. Crikey that earthquake Is strong
I’m thinking that the quality of building construction codes preventednearly all of these multilevel structures from disintegrating and saving many
Reading the news about the earthquake in Taiwan, I can't help but worry about the people and their families. Wishing them a quick recovery and return to normal life
