Taiwan earthquake
For those who have heard about the Taiwan earthquake on the news, Ted and I are actually both in the Netherlands this week, so we aren’t affected at all (perhaps we’ll find damage when we get home, but probably nothing major).
This quake was centered on land rather than in the ocean, so it sounds like it was bigger than any of the ones we felt. On the other hand, it was far from Taipei, closer to the south end of the island. I haven’t talked to our friends and colleagues yet, but it seems unlikely any of them in Taipei are hurt. There’s more damage down south, but Taiwan has good building standards and a high level of readiness to deal with earthquakes.
