危險！台灣7.5级大地震導致大樓劇烈晃動，施工材料從天而降砸向大街，天佑台灣，幫助受災百姓盡快恢復生活 7.4-magnitude quake strikes off Taiwan
7.4-magnitude quake strikes off Taiwan’s east coast, sparking tsunami warnings A major earthquake with a magnitude of 7.4 struck off Taiwan’s eastern coast Wednesday, according to the US Geological Survey, prompting tsunami warnings for the island and southern Japan. The quake’s epicenter is located about 18 kilometers (11 miles) south of the city of Hualien. Tremors were felt across the island, including by CNN staff in Taipei. Military personnel have been dispatched to help with disaster relief and schools and workplaces have suspended operations as aftershocks hit the island. Footage from Reuters showed several collapsed buildings in Hualien and residents helping trapped people escape through the window of a damaged apartment complex. Taiwan’s Central Weather Administration issued a tsunami warning following the quake. A CWA alert advised residents to evacuate to higher ground as a tsunami was expected to impact the island’s northern coastal area. The Japan Meteorological Agency also issued a tsunami alert for the southern Miyakojima and Okinawa islands, warning of waves up to 3 meters (nearly 10 feet) high. A 30-centimeter (nearly 1 foot) wave impacted Okinawa, the agency said. All flights from Okinawa and Kagoshima prefectures have been suspended following the tsunami warnings in the area, according to Japan Airlines. The earthquake is the strongest to hit Taiwan in 25 years, according to a spokesperson from the Central Weather Administration. In 1999, a 7.7 magnitude quake hit 93 miles (150 kilometers) south of Taipei, killing 2,400 people and injuring 10,000 others. 台湾地震发生在花莲县东南方25公里的台湾东部海域，地震深度约为15.5公里，属于极浅层地震。这次地震是继25年前震中位于台湾中部南投县集集镇的921大地震后，震级最高的地震。 据台湾“东森新闻”报道，这起强震是台湾1999年“921”地震发生25年后的最大规模地震，属于极浅层地震，地震能量累积很快，不会通过一次就释放能量，3-4天内都会有规模6.5-7.0之间的余震发生。台湾现任副总统、总统当选人赖清德3日飞抵花莲，在灾区现场的天王星大楼前告诉媒体称，目前最重要的工作是救人，抢救为最优先的工作，并全力医治及安置受伤灾民。 赖清德说：第一，抢救优先。要仔细盘查仍有多少人受困，迅速展开救援，并尽速给予受伤民众医疗服务；第二、要尽快恢复公共设施，包括交通和水电。他又说台湾交通部已经表示，明天早上台湾铁路恢复双向单线通车到花莲，预计晚上恢复双向双线通车，尽量让民众生活恢复正常。预计下个月就任总统的赖清德说，台湾中央政府会全力协助地方政府各项赈灾及重建工作。
