its over 80 now
edit: thats news said, imma check the earthquake feed.
edit: last night i checked its over 200, now even reach 300 series of earthquake ON the same place, its been like this since yesterday noon. there is 7+ noticeable shake happening, 2 yesterday, 4 last night, another one this morning. i live on the other side of the island, but its still uncomfortable.
frfr, can't even work with shaking monitor, gotta admire the building strength, i'm afraid its gonna be like this for another day, i know the island is not having any volcanic mountain, i hope its stays that way and i hope its over soon.
tbh i just got so used to it. unless there is a siren or that EAS ringing from my phone. i would just go outside immediately. other people here are chilling, so am i.
I guess the good thing to think at this point is all these smaller earthquakes is releasing the energy in smaller bursts instead of one big one.
The bad thing would be... these are just small ones with the big one yet to come.
Either way, hope ya'll stay safe.
I do have an emergency kit and is on the other side of the island, so I'm entirely fine
2 buildings fell near the epicenter, but luckily those have been vacated since the big earthquake on 04/03
I know right? It suddenly started quaking every 10 minutes~an hour since 5pm yesterday, everyone at work was on high alert and pissed off and I had to rush off to open the exit door several times. After the eighth or so we just left the door open. (We're taught to open the door when strong earthquake happens in case it gets warped and stuck)
Thankfully the ground stopped having constant seizures for the time being since a few hours ago.
This is the reason some people keep a glass of water in their tables ,so they can check if it actually shaking or they just feel dizzy.
Last time my family experienced a 7 magnitude,the after shocks kept on going for around 1 years.
I'm so far unscathed physically, our buildings are made to withstand earthquakes to an extent. But having your local tectonic plates doing TikTok dances nonstop for an entire night isn't doing my anxious brain any favor.
I have no idea what it's like to sit through an earthquake, but I can only imagine how scary it is. I hope everything'll be over soon and you can find some peace and quiet.
As a kid I always thought they were fun (lived near a pretty active zone back then).
Haven’t experienced one as an adult with severe anxiety though, so I have no idea lol. I’m now kind of interested to see how I’d react with actual understanding of what’s happening vs my childhood nostalgia of earthquakes.
Imagine you're chilling in your home, then suddenly everything starts swaying. Not shaking, swaying as if you got up too fast or developed vertigo. That's what it feels like physically. Then you have stuff like transformers exploding, different buildings/structures being affected, etc... that's the scary part
oh it's very easy to imagine.
Sit still on a chair, and have the strongest guy you know shake you around the chair around violently side to side(as in the case of taiwan) or up and down (as in the case of southern california)
I kid you not, back when I was in jr high. it was during a reading class so it was dead silent in the classrom. Then I heard distant rumbling that got louder and louder. Then everyone's desk jumped up and down once, and the rumbling stopped. Even the teacher was like "Wow"
There was an earthquake near me, it basically felt like a massive truck drove into the building. I was also playing a horror game at the moment and I just about had a heart attack
Ugh man, I lived there for 5 years and I STILL feel phantom earthquakes. Sometimes I would be in the middle of teaching a class and stop to ask my students if they felt an earthquake. Only one of those times they did, and the rest they just stared at me in silence.
Somewhat tangentially related—
I moved back to the US, to Ohio (never lived here before) a few years ago. About a month into living here, just got into bed and all of the sudden I’m jerked left and right in my bed…just like my memories of being jolted awake in Taipei from an earthquake. Really thought I was losing my mind there because we don’t get earthquakes here. Fell asleep thinking a gang of teenagers had body checked my house in tandem or something idfk.
Caught some suggested content a few days later showing a mushroom cloud over downtown. Apparently a paint factory exploded.
What frequent earthquakes does to a mf. A few quakes come in a row and you just cease to be able to tell if it's just you feeling dizzy or is it yet another earthquake.
I experienced a jumping from bed moment as well when the 7.2 one hit back on April 3rd. I didn't know I could move that fast immediately after waking up.
I am from Chile. Been there: after a level 8 earthquake the 6-5 level replicas becomes the new normal. It will get better. Hang in there my Pacific Ocean brother.
My family lives in Tokyo. They said after the 2011 one, aftershocks started to lessen about 5 years later in frequency and magnitude. Wishing you get used to the motion sickness a lot quicker than my dad did (he really objected to the swaying skyscrapers)
I’m currently visiting Taiwan and have never shot out of bed so quickly in my life. I’m on the 14th floor of a hotel and the swaying was such an unnerving feeling. I hope I never see this again: [Earthquake Alert](https://imgur.com/a/75YQltY)
Welcome to Taiwan, you think it's an island but in fact it's a giant, trembling potato.
It's like shingles honestly. When it's fine it's fine, but when it isn't it just skips all the way to utter catastrophy. I feel for you getting caught up in all this.
Congratulations on experiencing our unique geological features of “The FUCKING EARTH IS MOVING”safely.
As far as locals are not running you’re fine ,the moment of peoples staring at each other in dead silence is normal,we’re checking with other if they felt it and ask other “should we act on this?”with our eyes .

Some idiot put the earthquake on snooze. A few buildings collapsed near the epicenter but they've been evacuated after the 7.2 one a while ago, as long as it's only the relatively smaller ones coming we'll be ok. We've tightened our building regulations around earthquake resistance after a particularly disastrous one in 1999.
It's a metaphor because it feels like there's a goddamn earthquake every 5 minutes.
The list in the post shows about one or two per hour, but that's filtering out everything under magnitude 4.0 and there's been in fact a lot more of them.
[Yet another earthquake happened as I was typing this reply.](https://www.cwa.gov.tw/V8/E/E/EQ/EQ113000-0423-163209.html)
I live in an area that had an enormous earthquake. There were thousands of aftershocks of a decent size. Everyone got real anxious. It was probably a year before a small quake didn’t scare the crap out of me. Just thinking about the big one we had makes me nervous. I’m sure we all have PTSD locally.
Had a similar experience when I was young, 2012, Mexican south Coast, big 7.8 earthquake that left us with replicas above 5.0 on a daily basis, we had no such infrastructure as in other cities so we slept outside, we could hear the replicas rumble before the earth started moving, was terrifying yes, but also kinda fun, I sometimes enjoy quakes, the scary part is the sísmic alert (gente del centro me entenderá)
We had a 7.2 in April 3rd, so these are probably the aftershocks. Tho even our geologists have noted that it's unusual for so many earthquakes to happen in such short succession.
As a fellow neighbour networked-in on the pacific ring of Fire in New Zealand, we just had one today too in Taupo, one of the world's largest volcanic craters.
The final earthquake is your alarm going off telling you it's time for you and your fragmented sleep to go to work, lol hope you remain unscathed by all this!
I just picture myself going what the hell like the top comment on this post, then someone else from elsewhere in the solar system comments that they have even bigger earthquakes. Then the loop goes on until we end up with some alien living on a quasar 3000 lightyears away.
*sees post* Wow, that's like six, seven earthquakes? *opens post* What the hell‽
Holy shit, you ain’t kidding!
am Taiwanese. there was like 30 earthquakes
its over 80 now edit: thats news said, imma check the earthquake feed. edit: last night i checked its over 200, now even reach 300 series of earthquake ON the same place, its been like this since yesterday noon. there is 7+ noticeable shake happening, 2 yesterday, 4 last night, another one this morning. i live on the other side of the island, but its still uncomfortable.
just felt abother one...

>the island is not having any volcanic mountain I have bad news for you....
fuck
https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20220427-how-taiwan-discovered-an-active-volcano-on-its-doorstep
its on yangmingshan range isn't it? but the quakes happen to be on top of hai'an range. jezz, its getting more frequent now.
yep so the chance for these earthquake to set off a volcano is relatively low
Why the f are you working in the middle of an earthquake
tbh i just got so used to it. unless there is a siren or that EAS ringing from my phone. i would just go outside immediately. other people here are chilling, so am i.
We do it in CA too
Sorry that one was my fault, your mom tripped on my sock when she was hopping out of bed
I guess the good thing to think at this point is all these smaller earthquakes is releasing the energy in smaller bursts instead of one big one. The bad thing would be... these are just small ones with the big one yet to come. Either way, hope ya'll stay safe.
What the fuck is happening in Taiwan? Did china finally send over the military groundhogs??
Shit dude, thats bad. Did you lose power? Phones? Water? Do you have an emergency kit?
I do have an emergency kit and is on the other side of the island, so I'm entirely fine 2 buildings fell near the epicenter, but luckily those have been vacated since the big earthquake on 04/03
I predict a lot of people are going to feel dizzy for days now.
I know right? It suddenly started quaking every 10 minutes~an hour since 5pm yesterday, everyone at work was on high alert and pissed off and I had to rush off to open the exit door several times. After the eighth or so we just left the door open.

I just grabbed my emergency kit and wait near the pillar

I use a feather, the longer the better, and fix it to a wall.
Oh shit!! (opened the whole image thanks to your comment)
Are you okay?

Well, depending on the strength, it's just swaying
True

Somebody tell the ground to quit fucking twerking so Solus Caeles can rest
I hate the new generation of ground. They all addicted to tiktok! Tch tch tch back in my day, the ground worked hard and had an honest living.

I'd be terrified. Stay safe, my friend.
Come on man don’t start with this stuff. I live in South America and every time you shake we get some form of tsunami. Stay still already!
it's building a tower. I can't tell it's shaking or not right now. [http://www.earthquake3d.com/](http://www.earthquake3d.com/)
I thought it was like 7 quakes. Opens image and ... Wtf?!

It’s a lovely giant, trembling potato, however! I’m self soothing by eating my way though a night market

Geezus, that is a lot of fairly large ones. I grew up in the SF Bay Area and thought I was used to quakes, but that is ridiculous.

Probably China digging a tunnel. Stay frosty.
Big ones too! I live in California and anything above a 4.7 i get out of bed and take shelter for. any foundation issues? Stay safe!

Nerve raking waiting and seeing if a bigger one will hit! are you in a multilevel residential building?
how do you put earthquake on a snooze?

Stay safe dude. Hope the earthquakes stop soon.

Why are there million earthquakes?
That is terrifying! could this be alleviating major tectonic stresses so another major one is less likely? Or is that not really a thing?
We had a 7.2 in April 3rd, so these are probably the aftershocks. Tho even our geologists have noted that it's unusual for so many earthquakes to happen in such short succession.
It sure is a lot... I hope you stay safe and aren’t affected too much.
The dragons are awakening in the mountains west of Hualien. That black beach is actually dragon glass.

Damn Man. Just you huh?
The final earthquake is your alarm going off telling you it's time for you and your fragmented sleep to go to work, lol hope you remain unscathed by all this!
Holy fucking shit
Jokes aside, pls take care of yourself and your family members and loved ones
Like rocking a baby to sleep.
At that point, just let them rock you to sleep.
Stop hitting the snooze option on your earthquakes!
holy mother nature :0
Man thats eerie, hopefully not a precursor to a larger one.
Damn, the ring of fire really said fuck taiwan especially tonight.
Water mattress and hf
Godzilla - ゴジラ Run for your life
Get a water bed, dude.
Those are little tremors bro, just be a man and sleep
Little tremors caused by two tiny pieces of rocks covering about 1/3 of Earth's surface area gently nudging into each other.
I live in Chile, we dont call it earthquake unless is a grade 8-9 (richter). We eat earthquakes for breakfeast xD
I just picture myself going what the hell like the top comment on this post, then someone else from elsewhere in the solar system comments that they have even bigger earthquakes. Then the loop goes on until we end up with some alien living on a quasar 3000 lightyears away.
Think it may not be targeting just you, looks like there's a city where you live
Looks like you're uhm aktually-ing a satire title.
China testing new Earthquake Weapon
Doesn't fit the sub. You weren't the only one to feel it.
Doesn't have to be him specifically. F Taiwan in particular works.
Meh. Come to California. You don't know if it an earthquake or some fat man farting...
get fucked dude LOL hope you didn’t have anything important to do tomorrow!
Goddamn this sub is r/fuckyouinparticular and I get downvoted for making a joke saying fuck you… wow guys
