We had an earthquake at noon today. The news is saying that it was the biggest quake since the big one a few years ago but I think we have had bigger ones, at least bigger here in Taichung.
The one today was not even all that noticeable unless you were sitting down. I was in the teachers office when it hit and one of the teachers was sitting at the computer and saying that there was a big quake. The rest of us were standing and did not really believe him till we sat down. Then we could feel it too. It was relatively weak but it went on for a long time and that is usually a sign that it is big somewhere else. Turns out it was a 7 off in the ocean where it happened. A 5 in Hualian (which always gets the big ones.) a 4 in Taipei and a 2 here.
They never really bother me but it can feel a bit odd.
