- Strong earthquake strikes off Taiwan
From: AAP October 30, 2011 5:26PM
A 6.5-magnitude earthquake struck off north-east Taiwan today, swaying buildings in Taipei but there were no immediate reports of damage or tsunami warnings, seismologists said.
The US Geological Survey however measured the quake at a much weaker 5.5.
The undersea quake hit at 11.23am local time (2.23pm AEDT) about 141.4km east of the northern city of Keelung at a depth of 221.4km, the Seismology Centre said.
The quake was felt island-wide and buildings in Taipei shook but the National Fire Agency said there were no casualties or damage.
Taiwan is regularly hit by earthquakes as the island lies near the junction of two tectonic plates.
In September 1999, a 7.6-magnitude tremor killed around 2400 people in the deadliest natural disaster in the island's recent history. | |
