Luke 21:11 There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.
The U.S. Geological Survey has reported a 6.3 magnitude earthquake has struck Taiwan.
The report from the USGS says the quake struck around 7:02 p.m. local time and was centered in a remote mountain area 28 miles southwest of the city of Hualian. The quake was shallow with a depth of only 7.5 miles.
Residents in the capital city of Taipei, 95 miles from the epicenter, said that buildings swayed for more than 10 seconds.
Taiwan’s railway service immediately suspended all operations to check tracks for possible damage. There were no immediate reports of serious damage or casualties but because of the remote location of the epicenter full reports could take time.
Taiwan is located on the seismically active Pacific Ring of Fire.
