Earthquakes in Taiwan

Over the past 30hours, we have had a lot of earthquakes. Earthquakes are common here but usually so small you wouldn't feel anything. These are 10 of the quakes we have had:
Recent Earthquakes:
• Sept. 18, 5:39 pm Magnitude 5.5
• Sept. 18, 4:46 pm Magnitude 5.2
• Sept. 18, 4:10 pm Magnitude 5.7
• Sept. 18, 2:57 pm Magnitude 5.1
• Sept. 18, 2:44 pm Magnitude 6.9 Tsunami warning!
• Sept. 18, 2:32 pm Magnitude 5.2
• Sept. 18, 1:19 pm Magnitude 5.6
• Sept. 17, 9:41 pm Magnitude 6.5 Tsunami warning!
• Sept. 17, 10:45 pm Magnitude 5.5
• Sept. 17, 10:35 pm Magnitude 5.1
There have been a few buildings and a bridge that collapsed. Also, a few landslides cut off one of two ways to get out of the city where the epicenter has been. I've been living here 10yrs and never experienced this many all at once like this. Reporters fear this is building up to a big one.

had a few good shakes this afternoon but nothing too serious.
The only damage I had is my soap bottle fell from my bathroom sink and broke

Im in Taoyuan. No damage here but my inlaws have been in Taitung the past few days

yeah, I am in Hualien. The building and bridge collapse were in this county but not really close to Hualien city. I haven't yet heard of any damage in the city.

Yes, I’m interested in this as well. Stay safe.

I thought the general consensus that a series of small quakes relieve the pressure and prevented a big one.
Reporters are stupid.

Climate change.
Sea levels are rising putting more pressure on underwater faults. The result is shifting of the faults. As Greenland ice melts Taiwan cracks.
Watch it all on the Weather Channel.

nobody knows for sure.
Taiwan gets like 1500 earthquakes a year (of which most of them are too weak to be felt) so hopefully that is enough to relieve the pressure.

Where's OMLandshark? Is he ok? And I mean that in a psychological sense, not physical. He's probably freaking out.

Hope you all are safe and continue to stay safe. I know that there are buildings in that part of the world that can sustain large quakes based on how they are built. Is that true? I’d be curious how one would feel at the top of Taipei 101, which at one time was the tallest building in the world.
