    Asked my parents about it last night, apparently the aftershocks were pretty crazy and continuous too. Thankfully my extended family is alright as far as I've heard.

    Taipei was not dangerously affected. The quake registered just below 5.0 here. It shook decently and there were many aftershocks up to 4 hours later. Definitely the strongest earthquake I've been...

    Unfortunately Hualien got hit with the strongest part of it, as they usually do. The tectonic plates must meet near there. Every time I think about moving down there (it's a beautiful beach/mountain town) I remember how bad they are affected by earthquakes.

    Taiwan's usually pretty quick to mount a response to clearing those areas so it will probably be dealt with quickly. Hopefully it's only the 3 deaths.
