China: "We are dispatching our forces to help the beleaguered Taiwanese people! Yeah. 'Help', that's the ticket, yeah."

Called my friend in Taiwan about that. He felt the earthquake while getting dialysis at the hospital, but he had no idea how severe it was. He says it doesn't seem to affect him right now since he's in Taipei while the epicenter was in Hualien. The only two things he is concerned about is a possible tsunami and the trains being down.

Why do earthquakes cause tsunamis in those regions but not elsewhere? Or I mean, do they?

Earthquakes needs to be on/near water and strong for a Tsunami to originate. When the Cascadia fault eventually goes. A good chunk of Washington and Oregon will be underwater

how the hell did I not hear about this, but heard about the eq in NJ and NY?

edit: 13 dead so far. Taiwan has a 7.7 EQ in 1999 that killed 2400 people. They have had more strict construction measures since then.

Is it fucked up to say at least it worked and kept the casualties down? Still feel for those that did die, but hopefully the construction changes saved many many more.
