Taiwan Earthquake

There was just an earthquake in Taiwan: it felt like a 5.4-5.7 in Taibei (it lasted a long time, but not very intense, a sort of slow rolling quake). Not sure where the epicenter is, so not sure how big it is.

Everything is fine here. I only lost sleep, and still have power and network (obviously.) No one worry.

Update: It was a 6.4 about 30 miles off the east coast (nearest city was Hualien.) Apparently there's no major damage (my housemate is from Hualien, and called his folks to check in. Nothing fell down there.) So that's a relief.

I have visual confirmation on Taipei 101. It's up.

Excellent! I guess that earthquake-proofing they did worked.
