The strongest earthquake in a quarter-century rocked Taiwan during the morning rush hour yesterday, killing nine people, stranding dozens of workers at quarries and sending some residents scrambling out the windows of damaged buildings.

Taiwan's earthquake monitoring agency said the quake was 7.2 magnitude while the US Geological Survey put it at 7.4.
It struck about 18km off of Hualien, on Taiwan's east coast, and was about 35km deep.

Erin Hale, (00:31) a journalist based in Taiwan’s capital of Taipei, spoke to Breakfast saying she had experienced "dozens and dozens of aftershocks".

Christchurch-based New Zealand woman Delphine Herbert (05:06) was on the 16th floor of her hotel when the quake hit. As a wave of aftershocks hit, she described the experience live to Breakfast.
