First one of the year. WooooHooooo
When, i felt nothing, whereabouts are you.
Hm, that was fun. Nice little rumble here in Ta1chung.
Gee, I thought it was just an aftershock from last night’s jalapeno mexican pizza! 
7th Floor. Downtown Taipei. I actually felt it about 30 seconds before it started to actually register with my colleagues. I am an earthquake machine!!!

Bugger, i am 13th floor, uptown Taipei and did not feel a damn things, not even any squeals form female colleagues either as a warning signal.
Felt nothing here in Ilan. I did hear there was quite a jolt in Hsinchu.

A 2? Are you sure they didn’t confuse it for a passing truck?
That wasn’t a quake. It was my boss freeking out cause someone left the light on.
that was one for sure just now
Yup, definitely felt that one.
Out in the ocean off Yilan…

Amazing how fast the reports on these things are up on the government site. I checked the link a few posts up minutes after tonight’s shaker and the report was already up.
Interesting. It was due east of here and it caused a North-South swinging of the weights I have hanging.

Err…that didn’t sound right.

Didn’t feel a thing.
I was watching a movie at Warner Village when it hit. There was a slight murmur and gasping from the audience and everyone instinctively looked up (for falling debris to land in our eyes, maybe?) and then back at the screen.
[quote=“OutofChaos”] I did hear there was quite a jolt in Hsinchu (Xinzhu).

Indeed there was!
Almost three hours and no one to report. Guess when it’s in the 'burbs it just didn’t happen.
I felt it while having dinner but my wife didn’t even notice it.

True story: I was actually cutting the cheese – a real trouser-ripper – when that earthquake hit. I saw the monitor shaking a bit, but my own personal temblor was far stronger than the one you just posted about.
