Not where I thought the next one might be but likely connected to the Hualien event - a 5.3M in Ilan that shook Taipei city - just got off the phone with someone who described it as an 'up and down motion', said she could hear it coming before it hit and that it lasted about 15 seconds

Before CWB put it up, we pegged it as a 5 something in Ilan given that far away quakes usually come through as a wave motion and closer ones are more of a jolting shudder - so we are getting pretty good!

No reports of damage - probably just short of that level and quite deep at 47km
