I'm in Taipei and haven't felt so many big consecutives ones before. And that they were originated near Taitung means it must've really hit them hard there.
Any other posters here living in Taiwan? It's be cool to get a group going.

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.
Obvious troll. Sea levels aren’t rising a bit. Climate changes cyclically like the Sun

I think T101 has a giant pendulum in it for this reason.

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”.

Taipei 101 is always rocking. Even with the big dampener in the middle you can still feel the building swaying when it is windy.

Taiwan? You mean Chinese Taipei?

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!!

Earthquakes in Taiwan didn't feel a thing here on the gulf coast 
Posted on 9/19/22 at 1:10 am to Marco Esquandolas
yeah. The roads along the East Coast are stunningly beautiful.
The one that is a little more white knuckle is the road from Hualien to Taichung through the mountains. Scary how many people come around the blind corners at high speed.

We had a group staying in a high rise, I believe they were 70+ stories up, when the 8.8 hit Santiago, Chile back in 2010. My old boss was a big dude going about 260lbs and it tossed him around like a rag doll. He couldn’t move on his own due to the swaying. The building itself made a humming sound.

Yet another quake struck today around the New Madrid Seismic Zone, this time right in the heart of it in western Tennessee.
The magnitude 2.3 event was weak, but people as far away as Missouri and Kentucky reported to the USGS that they felt the earthquake.
The earthquake, which struck at 4:02 am this morning, had an epicenter near the town of Tiptonville, Tennessee, next to the border with Kentucky and Missouri –and also close to New Madrid County, Missouri, home of epic earthquake activity in the 1800s.
Today’s earthquake is the 56th to strike the region in the last 30 days and the 11th to hit the heart of the New Madrid Seismic Zone in the last 7 days.
