Fairly big in Hualien, felt like hard jackhammering at the beginning then started to rock more. I’ve got a visitor to Taiwan visiting my home now, she was woken up by it and I think scared half to death.

Hualien doesn’t get a break this year.
Pretty much daily life here.
5+ Hualien quite out from the coast right now
barely felt in Taichung

feels like it
Edit:
Says we didn’t feel it in Pingtung, but my building did a little hence looking here.
Must be on the correct frequency for my building.

Felt in Keelung
As per above mentions. The magnitude of shake and the impact on humans are very different. It’s a bit misleading as the perceived impact on humans are displayed in big colorful circles on taiwans weather website, and the actual magnitude is the less obvious figure below. Making the picture appear to passers by as subjective rather than focusing on the objective strength of the shake.
Random example, of the hundreds per year we get.

I think they are possibly the same only different. 2 on the 23rd that are almost identical? How many were there; because I only see 1, and -oddly- the timestamp at usgs has the 21 inverted to 12 on the hour between the 2 images below
The timestamps different since one is UTC 12:28 and the other is UTC +9 21:28.
Yes, thanks. I’m trying to understand if there were 2 earthquakes in Taiwan on the 23rd, as slawa showed. only one at usgs. edit: How many were there?
Short answer: yes, there were two earthquakes.
I can confirm there was an earthquake at 14:35 local time. My TA and I both felt it.
As for the 20:28 quake, this was reported by both the USGS (as you’ve shown) and the Taiwanese CWB (as @slawa posted). I didn’t feel anything, as I was on my scooter at the time.
