I've felt 4 earthquakes in 2 days. The bigger one was when I was in a department store 11th floor in Xinyi, horrible, horrible. One of the reasons I can't live

  Do you remember that 7.2 a couple years ago? Much closer to Taipei then these Hualien quakes. That felt really sickening to me. The ones yesterday I felt pretty sick for a while too

    Are you misremembering the 6.4 from 2018 in Hualien? There were no 7+ magnitude quakes in recent years. [1] The closest is 2016 at 7.1 which took out some undersea internet cables the caused a reduction in spam worldwide of 50%.

      No there was definitely a 7 a few years back, I didn't say it was in Hualien. Do I really need to check this, for your convincing, can't you just believe me? alright I checked: this is weird, but can't remember this one being a 6. Anyway, it was 7 on the Taiwan intensity scale. Maybe that's where I got it from? https://scweb.cwb.gov.tw/en-us/earthquake/details/EE2019041813010763031 https://scweb.cwb.gov.tw/en-us/earthquake/details/EE20190418... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_Hualien_earthquake https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_Hualien_earthquake f off downvoters

        Remember that Taiwan and the USGS report on different scales
