Taiwan Earthquake: Moment of Impact

EarthCam documented the moment a 7.4-magnitude earthquake shook the streets in Hualien City - close to the epicenter - on Taiwan's east coast. Taiwan's worst earthquake in 25 years was also felt far away in Linkou in New Taipei City, see the effects as people evacuate.

not even a 7.2 magnitude earthquake could stop the girl rushing on her scooter, what a legend

So scary and sad . Praying for the citizens of Taiwan that’s been affected by this horrific tragedy

Having been through a 5.9 (much smaller than this) earthquake, I'm impressed at the fact that this didn't completely destroy everything. And everyone was pretty calm. That first side on the scooter just kept going.

Wow Did anybody else notice how the bird start acting weird right before it happened 🤯 you saw how it flew so awkwardly like something disrupted it's whole natural navigation system and everything. It flew into frame and then out of nowhere went straight vertical. I've never seen a bird fly straight up in that pattern before 😮

Thank goodness for structural competency.

We had an earthquake in New Jersey, USA a couple of weeks ago and it lasted about a second and a half. The news made a big deal about it.
