A couple of small ones out east of Yilan.
4.1 at 13:00 - 15.9km ENE of Yilan.
3.7 at 13:02 - 13.9km ENE of Yilan.
I felt one - dont know which.
Unlike in Shenzen where a tall building got the wobbles yesterday, all evacuated, thinking Earthquake, but not. Not recorded how many were brave enough to return though.

I knew I wasnât dreaming.
Woke up right around 4 last night to light swaying.
Looks like multiple small quakes all morning.
Wonder if a larger one is coming.
Between a huge COVID outbreak, and China threatening to invade us, a large earthquake would just make the perfect trifecta to this shit sundae.

I dreamt of an earthquake last night and the government overwhelmed with cases in hospitals from the earthquake victims and the Covid rising cases, terrible sight. My heart sinked when I saw this thread popped up here just now.

If you see three new posts in the Earthquake thread, then you know there was something minor somewhere, likely near the east coast (because that is how they roll there).
If you see 60+ new posts, then itâs likely that all hell has broken loose somewhere.
Take care everyone!

And if there arenât any new posts yet, you may still have the chance to be first to report with an âUH OH!!!â or something like that. (Something I have definitely done.)

Theyâre probably looking at the current situation (covid outbreak, drought*, power outages, heatwaves, earthquakes) and thinking âreunificationâ can wait!
*edit: i see a typhoon might be coming, it is so bad here weâre praying for that devastating storm to hit!

Did you feel the one at 02:04 yesterday morning?
For some reason CWB have listed it as it was felt as a M1 in Taiwan.
A tad far away, 2247.2 WNW of Kinmen even - BUT 7.3 at its epicentre, so the PRC got a shakeup.
BTW lots of destruction in Qinghai, China from a devastating quake. âNo deathsâ they say, though.

Entirely possible, Iâve travelled there. Very sparsely populated, not heavily developed, and the traditional architecture is earthquake-resistant.

Well, I look at fallen highways and destroyed homes and go hmmmm.

Series of Earthquakes right in the middle of Lake Tahoe, 2km depth. Seems like a new thing, I think?
I think most people in Taiwan didnât feel anything.
