Rumble Rumble…TAIWANESE EARTHQUAKES! (Mag 6.6, 5.7)
1 minute of serious wobblyness, and 3 minutes of bouncyness here in Taoyuan.
Here are links to the data on the earthquake - biggest we’ve had for a few months.
As usual, I have lots of respect for the incredible Taiwanese engineers that have built an electrical grid and internet infrastructure that just keeps on running during earthquakes.
Oh, and some good news. I noticed that the English language system is now running in-line with the Chinese system. It used to be that English language version of the CWB website would lag behind by 15-30 minutes (or so it seemed…).
If you have time, you can fill in a report on the USGS website and help seismologists do their work…
