I lived in Taichung from 1995-1997 working on a post-graduate degree (Mandarin) at Feng Chia University.
I happened to be on the top floor (14th I believe) of the main administrative building in the student Café (tea) when I felt a really good shake…then the building began to sway back and forth—it was really moving a good amount for about 2-3 minutes. I bout shite a brick while all the Taiwanese students very nonchalantly continued to eat as if nothing were happening! They just replied, ‘no big deal, this happens all the time”.

FYI…I rode my motorcycle from Taichung to Hualien (and eventually Yilan and Taipei) over the old cross-island highway no fewer than 5 times before it’s demise due to earthquakes…what a frigging road that was!!
