Big earthquake this morning, but far enough off the coast not to cause any damage.

However, it's interesting that they've just been three 5.5+ aftershocks, i assume, in the same region, in the last 40 minutes. That would seem like a lot. Are they aftershocks? Or something bigger brewing?

Meanwile, a decent front coming through Taipei on the sat image.

6.3 Earthquake off coast of Hualien

Wow! 6.3! That's big. I figure anything 6.5 or over is borderline catastrophic if you're near the epicenter. 6.3 is certainly enough to cause damage.
