Deadly magnitude-6.4 earthquake hits Taiwan - UPI.com
UPI reports: "A magnitude-6.4 earthquake struck Taiwan's northeastern coast Tuesday,
causing buildings to collapse and bury people beneath debris.
Prime Minister William Lai said at least two people died and more than
100 others sustained injuries in the temblor.
The U.S. Geological Survey said the epicenter of the quake was located
northeast of Hualien County at a depth of 6.2 miles and the Central
Weather Bureau reported three aftershocks."
Comment: I could be wrong, but my my count, that's three quakes in the last week for the region. Hopefully all that seismic stress has been released or they were merely temblors leading up to the big one?
