HERE'S The Story@ "A powerful 6.4 magnitude earthquake has toppled buildings in the Taiwanese city of Hualien, media reports say. The tremor struck at 23:50 (15:50 GMT) about 20km (12 miles) off the island's east coast. Photographs posted on social media showed extensive damage to roads and high-rise buildings. Emergency services are working to free people who are trapped in a hotel that has partially collapsed, the reports say. The island of Taiwan sits near a junction of two tectonic plates and is regularly hit by earthquakes." FROM: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-42966916
An update to that story from much earlier on Tuesday is that there are now several dead. . . and a report has the number of people missing at 140!!! With several buildings collapsed or as the pictures are showing tilting very badly and feared they could fall over completely leading to even more greater damage and possibly more deaths, too!!!
And then this is the entire list of earthquakes I was talking about at the beginning of todays EQ Blog that led to the 6.4 Taiwan Earthquake, with Taiwan at the top now, reading UP:

Went back and double-checked my sheet with the landfall of Tropical Cyclone Berguitta at Reunion Island on January 18 and found it to have been the entry where I had to re-check because on my first original run of the straight-line, South Korea came out!!! Name of town was Andong, however always double and triple check anytime I'm checking one as potentially big as this one is, and also a proven method we routinely use in the construction biz and the very next check came out at Taiwan!!! As well as any subsequent ones. . . so I left this at Taiwan, Honshu, and Japan because remember line also crosses that Japan Region, too, so keep watching over in that region!!! More Earthquakes, maybe, just maybe. . . more big or bigger ones, too!!!
