Taiwan hit by 7.5 Earthquake
#1
This must have happened quite recently, as the report I read didn't even bother to specify a time...

From FOX: Powerful earthquake rocks Taiwan, buildings seen collapsed, causes tsunami warning in Japan
Subtitled: Buildings were seen shaken off their foundations following the quake, which was given a 7.5, according to the U.S. Geological Survey
 

An earthquake rocked the entire island of Taiwan early Wednesday, collapsing buildings in a southern city and sparking a brief tsunami warning for southern Japanese islands.


It must have been terribly frightening...

The U.S. National Tsunami Warning Center initially said it was reviewing the earthquake to determine whether there was a tsunami threat to the West Coast states of California, Oregon, Washington as well as Alaska and the Canadian province of British Columbia. 

Japan

"Tsunami NOT expected," the agency posted on X minutes later. 

Hawaii's Emergency Management Agency also said there was no tsunami threat to the state. 

The quake was believed to be the biggest in Taiwan since a temblor in 1999 caused extensive damage.
