you did. I made a new topic while you guys ran to 2021.
I hereby grant @andrew the first post award.
Though the forum doesn’t count seconds. So both say the same minute.

Intensity 4 in several parts of Taipei, New Taipei and Yilan. Now wonder things rocked.
That was a huge one. I felt the vertical foreshock, and immediately switched to my outdoor shoes, and that gave me about 40 seconds to walk to the stairwell. Haven’t had one this big in a while. Hope everyone on the East coast are alright.

That would be grounds for an emergency evacuation of a Quarantine Hotel?

Oh great! I thought that you might have beaten me to it in a new thread, but the timing of mine and @Steve4nLanguage’s posts seemed dubious. I gratefully accept the award and thank you for your honesty!

Holy crap, I was in the lift /elevator and it made a groaning noise and started bouncing around. Not gonna lie, I was scared. Got into my 11th floor apartment (legs quite wobbly) and a few things had fallen off the countertops.

I was thinking about it - but then I think no-one here moved out…
I didn’t feel anything.

Not a big deal of course, but I think the forum has to count seconds, no? It seems like only recording post times to the nearest minute would lead to problems. I guess it’s just not visible in the admin view?
Incidentally, I downloaded my user history a couple of weeks ago, and that does display post times to the thousandth of a second:

Didn’t feel a thing in Kaohsiung.
Absolutely it does, but it’s not visible here when I click on the time on our posts. Both say 17.47

Being in a Lift/Elevator is the one place I wouldn’t want to be.

probably the worst thing to do.
Better to stay where you are and ride it out. The urge to run is strong, but wait until it’s over.
I did on the ninth floor of my building. But it felt like a minor sway, nothing like what it sounds like up north. Noticeable enough that I brought it up with my coworker.
You shouldn’t run outside during a major earthquake. There are far more “stuff” outside that can fall on you… signs, windows, glass panes, pots, etc.
You are much safer inside.
