Last month its in Haiti taking live of thousands and 5 days back it hits Chile killing 800 people. People are still in the shock and panic of Chile. And now a powerful 6.4-magnitude earthquake rocked southern Taiwan on Thursday morning, causing buildings to sway in the county of Kaohsiung. No deaths were reported yet except some injuries. Kaohsiung is about 400 kilometres south of the capital Taipei. Power lines were brought down and the island’s high-speed rail service was immediately suspended.
No tsunami alert was issued. The quake was centered in the same mountainous region of rural Kaohsiung County that endured the brunt of the damage from Typhoon Morakot, a devastating storm that killed about 700 people last August.
