Report: 9/18/22

 

Hours ago, a bigger earthquake struck Taiwan. It was initially measured a magnitude 7.2, but was downgraded to a magnitude 6.9. Tsunami warnings have been issued. Hazardous tsunami waves are possible along coastlines within a 300-km(186 mile) radius. The quake hit the Chishang township in rural southeastern Taiwan and had a depth of 10 km. Japan's Meteorological Agency issued a tsunami warning for Miyako island in the east China Sea, but the agency later cancelled the warning. Photos showed collapsed buildings in southern Taiwan following the powerful earthquake. Three people have been reported trapped under rubble, while a fourth person was rescued. About 20 passengers were evacuated after a train derailed in the area, but there were no casualties from the incident according to the Taiwan Railway Administration. Damage was also reported at a local school. Residents have been told to stay alert for aftershocks.
