Ack, it's flooding there? I heard about the quake a few days ago.

Yeah, I heard it was like a 6. quake. But didn't hear much about it afterwards.
apparently people felt it all across the island but there wasn't any actual damage? it was off the north east coast iirc maybe far enough
that it wasn't super strong on the island

Yeah.. this just happened when?
i found out about it 'cause the taiwanese news feeds i follow on plurk were announcing school closures in taibei and gaoxiong
(which like i said are on opposite sides of the freaking country)

2012-06-12T04:42:28.000Z
I guess it's cause they're both coastal?
SᏋPH
2012-06-12T04:42:38.000Z
Then again, Taiwan is an island, everything's coastal.
everything is sorta costal but yeah i am guessing one giant ass storm
