I had stuff falling off shelves, and I’m on the 5th floor. Anyone know what it measured? I’ve felt at least 3 aftershocks.
just felt the 3rd one…was weak, anyone else?
Thats a third as I write as an aftershock.
Good morning everyone!
I’m about to go outside in a few minutes…im on 5th floor. Did you feel more up and down motion or side to side? Which is worse?
Was this a fourth one or it’s just me shaking? 
I felt side to side. My monitor would have tipped over if i wasn’t holding onto it. I didn’t think the first one was anything small. I’ve felt longer ones before, but this one really rocked.
Initial report 5.9, 8.5 km in depth at Ilan.

發 震 時 間： 94年 3月 6日 3時16分25.3秒
震 央 位 置： 北 緯 24.67Yeah, took me about 5 minutes on broadband.
Felt it here as well…I’m down at the Southern end of Taoyuan County.
CWB website is absolutely crawling, so go back one page and look at the updates I will paste in as data comes out.
Looking at the intensity maps and the reports of stuff falling over, I am pretty certain this 5.9 figure will be revised up. I can’t imagine it was anything less than high 6s or maybe even low 7s from the way it’s described here.
Ok, I’m in
5.9 for the first one. They are registering it as one quake. On land and very shallow, 8.5km deep. Felt as 5 throughout Ilan County, 3 in Taoyuan County, 4 in Taipei County and 3 in Taipei City.
Epicenter was 15.3km SE of Ilan city.
3:27 aftershock updates.

Probably the duration and two quakes close together that made it seem larger.
