You never know if the next quake is the one

Never experienced a quake in my life. What's it feel like?

Feels like your house became a boat that's navigating rough waters

Airplane turbulence would be a better way to describe it

Well those are both things that I have experienced and what the fug

That sounds shit

@porco The point wasn't low safety standards,
it was that chink companies don't care about them anyway.

@Big Meme @kaetaa most likely licenced them

It's APM, pretty big mall, wouldn't fuck up especially with Hong Kong being stricter

it's been so fucking weird the last three days

half a dozen big quakes

can't go a few hours without another one

@red where do you live again? Weren't you in the South?

never mentioned i was in the south, i'm in taipei

You felt it in Taipei wow

I have friends in Hualien and they were scared af

Do you live in a tall building?

can't imagine what it's like being there and feeling quakes every half hour

i guess? 10+ stories

felt like airplane turbulence

for the 6.4

Do you remember the big Tainan earthquake in February 2016?

the one where the shoddy building collapsed?

Yes with the oil cans inside the walls

yeah

not sure if i felt that one

I was riding a scooter in Changhua while it happened any my first thought was that the scooter must have had some defekt. I thought it was the suspension breaking or a flat tire or something

That was the first earth quake I ever experienced

No idea how you guys can live with that

I keep an emergency kit around

Taiwan #1 besides the quakes

i made it a long time ago but i think there's nonperishable food, thermal blanket, clothing, hand-crank radio + flashlight, and plastic wrap inside it

That's smart

Does everyone in Taiwan do that?

I try to mention it to people if the topic comes up

You should rebuild it, this time putting one of those hand crank phone chargers in there

it's a combo radio+flashlight that has a usb port

is it a listen-only radio or can you broadcast?

listen only

I imagine people are starting to want to build these kits if they haven't

maybe something to broadcast if you end up stuck in a building
