Over 200 aftershocks- No significant damage

Hualien, a largely rural and sparsely populated provincial town, was hit by a 7.2-magnitude earthquake on April 3 that killed at least 17 people and has since been followed by more than 1,000 aftershocks.

Buildings in large parts of northern, eastern and western Taiwan, including the capital, Taipei, swayed overnight, with the largest quake measuring 6.3 on the Richter scale. Everything was superficial.
“Especially at 2 in the morning, it was very violently shaken. In fact, for a moment I thought of rushing down, but as we live on the sixth floor, I felt it was a bit inconvenient to go down,” said Taipei resident Aden Peng. 44, medical researcher.

“Again, based on my past experience, I thought it would be fine and I hoped it would be fine,” Peng added. “And because I was so tired, I just kept sleeping, hoping for the best.”
Taiwan’s Central Meteorological Agency said the wave of earthquakes that began on Monday afternoon – numbering more than 200 – were aftershocks from the April 3 earthquake.
Seismological Center Director Wu Chien-fu told reporters that the aftershocks were a “concentrated release of energy” and that more could be expected, though perhaps not as strong.
