or maybe the NSA were installing a tap and nobody was any wiser <:tipsfedora:383326576609329162>

Such is the life of the Five Eyes

@red another one?

yep

felt big

My Taiwan news source is super fast

it just hit like 30 seconds ago for me

bigger than yesterday's?

dunno, maybe smaller

significant swaying on my end

People in Tainan felt it

And you felt it in Taipei

so my guess would be around Hualien again

how fucking shit

another earthquake

is this the end of Taiwan? 😦

no need to guess. last 150 earthquakes are all from hualien

I didn't visit Ali Shan yet 😦

Taiwan can't break now 😦

And I also wanted to go to Kenting one more time 😦

Don't break Taiwan!

alright while we wait for the earthquake report let me guess the magnitude

5.2

Are you in Taiwan?

yeah. Taiwan ain't breaking anytime soon lol

where in Taiwan are you?

Hsinchu now

CWB's website is getting hammered, seems like

but living on the 13th floor doesn't help at all

http://www.cwb.gov.tw/V7e/earthquake/quake_index.htm

mag 5.7, it says

I was chatting with my gf's sister in Tainan and she felt it apparently

5.7 holy shit

so annoying. all the bigger earthquakes happen at midnight

http://www.cwb.gov.tw/index.htm is not loading for me anymore

give it a minute or two. im guessing everybody is refreshing that page right now

and I figured out a way to roughly estimate when the next 4.5 mag or higher earthquake will happen

after every 7~9 medium (3.5 ~4 ish) earthquake, there will be a significantly stronger one

after 40 mins passed after a 4.5 or larger earthquake without any smaller earthquakes, there will be another larger one

I know that a bunch of Italians are renting a lot of computing power in Lugano's super computing centre in an attempt to predict seismic activity
