Slight, brief shaking in Banqiao.
Yup, shaken through … not stirred!
The second one today, and yesterday and the day before … active period of the earth’s crust.
An unsettling jolt in Linkou.

This one felt stronger and longer than those from last week, much more shaking and our old dog woke up!
That is by far the ONE thing i don’t miss bout Taiwan. Quakes.
I once went a mad dash down 7 flights of stairs in 20 seconds in a quake. I don’t think one can fall much faster.

I was at school but I didn’t feel anything.
I’m feeling so left out these days. Either I’ve finally become a local and never notice anything bigger than a 6.0 right next door, or my new apartment is built so well that even on the 10th floor I get no shakes. I suppose I should be thankful, right?
structurally speaking, better built high raise should sway (unless you’ve got dampeners, which is unlikely), so I’m gonna say you’ve gone local. :bravo:
I was sitting down when it happened. I even felt the pre-shocks. My co-worker, who was walking by me and stopped when I exclaimed “Earthquake!”, didn’t feel a thing.
As you can see on the weather office’s website, there have been related earthquakes in northeastern Taiwan since the end of last year, but only one or two of them seemed strong enough to register in Taipei, etc.: cwb.gov.tw/V7e/earthquake/quake_index.htm
This active zone is near the mountains separating Hualien (Hualian) and Ilan (Yilan) - a situation where two plates collide, and that collision zone extends eastward, via the islands of Yonaguni, Ishigaki, and then curving more and more northward, via the islands of Miyako, Okinawa, Amami, up into Japan.
No shaking here this time, but we are “watching the situation” (expecting something to rumble here, too, before long).
That’s life (always not far from death). 
Iv lived here in the Bay Area since 1999. And I have only felt 2 mild quakes. NOTHING compared to living a same time frame in Taipei.
