A succession of earthquakes struck Taiwan’s capital overnight, extending into the early hours of Tuesday. According to the Central Weather Administration, the most powerful tremors registered at magnitude 6.3 and originated in eastern Hualien.
The initial significant earthquake, measuring magnitude 5.5 struck on Monday at approximately 5:08 pm as reported by the Central Weather Administration. Its effects were felt in the capital city of Taipei. Subsequently, a sequence of aftershocks and additional tremors occurred. Two particularly intense tremors occurred quickly around 2:30 am (1830 GMT) on Tuesday, as observed by AFP reporters and witnesses in Taipei.
“I was washing my hands, and suddenly felt what I thought was vertigo,” Olivier Bonifacio, a tourist staying in Taipei’s Da’an district, told AFP.
“I stepped into my room and noticed the building was rocking and I heard the desk creak,” he said, adding that it was then he realized it was another aftershock.
The Central Weather Administration said a magnitude-6.0 quake had hit at 2:26 am, followed six minutes later by a magnitude-6.3 one. Through Monday, AFP reporters could feel their buildings swaying during intense quakes, while one said “glass panels of bathroom and windows were making noises” as the island shuddered.
