You nailed it. 6.5 off Yilan. It was a 3 here in Taipei.

My poor cats were SCREAMING!
You can live here and have a great life and not be the least bit into living the local life. Clowns will try to diss you for it saying you gotta get down with the program, but fuck em, treat this place like a buffet and yous be on a diet. Take what you want and nothing extra, slam those oysters, but leave the bread sticks and dinner rolls behind. - Deuce Dropper

I'm in Taipei. That was strong enough to wake me up, and also my gf woke up and messaged me on the other side of town. This one went for a while!

Felt it in Xiamen - the weird eery feeling of my bed shifting back and forth, for about 30 seconds.

Shook for twenty seconds here in K-town, yesterday afternoon, but I had to TELL the Kitten it was happening! The real cats knew, though. Didn't feel one this morning.

Guess we're getting better at estimating after a while.
It did felt stronger maybe because of the altitude / amplitude effect on Linkou Heights.
What confirms the severity is a cracked balcony wall.
Found like 30 yellow bricks which are vertically broken. First real damage In 7 years.

Nothing to report from Danshui. Me, the missus and the cats didn't feel a thing.

It shook me out of my sleep and got me sitting up in bed. It was quite a noisy one.
If I prioritized the acquisition of wealth above other purposes in life, I might still have come to Taiwan to study Chinese, but I doubt I would have remained here.

It woke me up in Danshui, with my bed shaking and creaking noises I could hear through my earplugs, so must have been pretty loud. Shaking went on and on and on. My cat ignores quakes, doesn't bother her a bit. I went back to sleep afterwards, didn't feel any of the either of the two aftershocks.
