a rocking sensation here on the 12th floor. Students are all chattering like a bunch of agitated chimps. It's not that damn bad

6.0 on the east coast of the island straight across from us in Taitung. Guess I was wrong.

Not here, it was only a 2 or 3 here...there'll be landslides on the east coast and in the mountains though.

Just had a 6.3(according to the CWB) on the east coast of the island near Hualien. We swayed a little but that was it.
Just checked with the USGS site and they have a preliminary reading of 6.6 about 250 km off of the coast. There'll likely be a tsunami warning for the Pacific coast...which is where all the surfing takes place.

Weebles wobble but they don't fall down.

We just had a 6.4 about 15 minutes ago. This one was close, out in the county, by a station. My wife tells me that the chandelier in our living room was shaking like Shakira. We usually avoid the worst of anything because we sit on a coastal plain and the seismic waves don't travel so well in dirt.

Just tell your students it was a fat kid running down the hall.

I read this thread then checked for the news story. I should have posted the link here but I posted it on the news page.
Perhaps a mod can merge it on here?
Good to know you are safe Shep! Let us know what's happening if anything else does.
