Taiwan 6.4 Earthquake – More HAARP Man Made Earthquake or Signs Of Earth Changes?

admin — Wed, 14 Apr 2010 08:42:26 +0000

An earthquake in southern Taiwan has disrupted power supplies in the capital, Taipei and caused the high speed rail service to be suspended.

There have been no reported deaths but several injuries from falling objects.

The US Geological Survey said the 6.4 magnitude quake hit about 70 km (43.5 miles) from southern Kaohsiung city.

Four years ago a 6.7 magnitude quake in the area severed undersea cables and disrupted telephone and Internet service throughout Asia.

Several fires broke out after the latest quake, including one in a textile factory in the southern city of Tainan, which sent out huge clouds of smoke and stalled lifts.

Services on the southern half of Taiwan’s high-speed rail linking Taipei with the south were stopped pending safety checks. Subway service in the city of Kaohsiung was temporarily disrupted.

Power outages hit Taipei and at least one county to the south, and telephone service in some parts of Taiwan was patchy.

Buildings swayed in the capital when the quake struck.

The collapsed Jinshuai Hotel lies in the Jhihben River in Jhihben Township, Taitung County, yesterday.

Torrential rains brought by Tropical Storm Morakot, which was downgraded from a typhoon on Saturday, continued to wreak havoc in the south of the country yesterday.

As of 8pm yesterday, the Central Disaster Emergency Operation Center had confirmed seven fatalities, while another 32 were injured and 46 were missing.

A total of 6,301 people had been evacuated from their homes, the center said.

Though the center of the storm left Taiwan on Saturday, heavy rain from the rim of the system continued to cause major damage.

In eastern Taiwan, the Jinshuai Hotel in Jhihben (知本), Taitung County, collapsed into the Jhihben River just before noon after its foundations were eroded by surging floodwaters.

A report in the Chinese-language Liberty Times (the Taipei Times sister newspaper) said the management of the hotel had begun evacuating guests on Saturday after roads leading to the town, which is popular for its hot springs, were washed away by the river.
