It's a "World Wide Suicide" Listening to this when I saw this thread. Better go to as many PJ shows as possible before the "World Wide Suicide"

Not trying to be a dick, but, 6.4 probably isn't severe in that area.

The 7.0 quake in Haiti is what, ~3+ times greater than a 6.4 quake? And I'm assuming the folks in Taiwan, who have experience with this, have better housing than they do in Haiti.

Hope for the best for eveyone involved, but, at initial glance, I can't imagine this is going to cause severe or catastrophic damage.

Could Japan be next?

Oarfish omen spells earthquake disaster for Japan For japan's sake i hope this fish doesn't show up.

The appearance of the fish follows Saturday's destructive 8.8 magnitude earthquake in Chile and the January 12 tremors in Haiti, which claimed an estimated 200,000 lives.

A quake with a magnitude of 6.4 has also struck southern Taiwan.


Chile earthquake: troops struggling to keep control This rash of tectonic movements around the Pacific "Rim of Fire" is heightening concern that Japan - the most earthquake-prone country in the world - is next in line for a major earthquake.

Those concerns have been stoked by the unexplained appearance of a fish that is known traditionally as the Messenger from the Sea God's Palace.

The giant oarfish can grow up to five metres in length and is usually to be found at depths of 1,000 metres and very rarely above 200 metres from the surface. Long and slender with a dorsal fin the length of its body, the oarfish resembles a snake.

In recent weeks, 10 specimens have been found either washed ashore or in fishing nets off Ishikawa Prefecture, half-a-dozen have been caught in nets off Toyama Prefecture and others have been reported in Kyoto, Shimane and Nagasaki prefectures, all on the northern coast.

Taiwan's just across the sea from here. I didn't feel anything.

I'd like to feel an earthquake though. I've not felt one before.

I felt a slight tremor here on the east coast once, all I remember saying was what the hell was that?
