Hualien is not a place for the faint-hearted. Seems like there have been several 6+ers there in the last 6 years - so much for letting off tension.

At 7.2, it was a whole-island shake, at 8am. Another quake at 6+ struck shortly after.

Looking at the partially collapsed buildings, that would be about as scary as life could get whilst still being somehow survivable.

Seems the turtle head fell off Gwei Shan Dao - that's ... seismic.
