Taiwan earthquake, 7 People dead, numerous buildings damaged.

At least four people were killed and several buildings were damaged in Taiwan’s worst earthquake in 25 years. Tsunami risks in Taiwan and Japan have abated despite reports of damage around the island. Four individuals died in Hualien County close to the epicenter, according to Taiwanese authorities. The island was jolted Wednesday morning at rush hour by the largest earthquake in 25 years, which destroyed roads and buildings and claimed seven lives. When the earthquake struck Taipei, the nation’s capital, older buildings’ tiles collapsed, forcing schools to relocate their kids to sports grounds where they were given yellow safety helmets. As the aftershocks persisted, some kids covered themselves with textbooks to protect themselves from falling debris. Later, a five-story structure with its first level fell was left leaning at a 45-degree angle in Hualien County, close to the offshore epicenter. The tremor occurred just before eight in the morning, and according to Taiwan’s national fire service, seven people perished. According to the United Daily News, a van driver passed away in Taroko National Park after rocks struck the car, while three hikers perished in rockslides. 736 individuals were hurt and 77 were stranded, according to government records. In addition to 35 roads, bridges, and tunnels being damaged, the earthquake and its aftershocks also resulted in 24 landslides. The U.S. Geological Survey reported a magnitude of 7.4, whereas Taiwan’s earthquake monitoring agency reported a 7.2 magnitude. It struck at a depth of around 35 kilometers (21 miles) and approximately 18 kilometers (11.1 miles) south-southwest of Hualien. There were several aftershocks that were reported by the USGS to be 11.8 kilometers (7 miles) deep and of magnitude 6.5. More surface damage is often caused by shallower earthquakes. After the earthquake, the tsunami warning was withdrawn.…
