“6.5 - Magnitude Earthquake in Taiwan Makes Buildings Sway”
by Sky Channel   
April 26th, 2010

Ever since all these earthquakes have been showing their faces all around the world (Haiti, Chile, Japan, SoCal, Samoa, New Guinea, Spain...) we've gotten a lot of comments from our readers about them, and a lot of emails asking us to keep you informed when more tremors strike.

Well, yet another quake has hit this morning, this time 195 miles off the coast of Taiwan's city of Taitung. It had a magnitude of 6.5 and was so strong that buildings in the capital of Taipei were swaying with the force. It hit at 10:59 local time and had a depth of 6.2 miles.

The good news is that there is no threat of tsunami, and no injuries, deaths or damages have been reported.
