7+ earthquake in Taiwan about 1 hour ago.

An earthquake measuring 7.6 struck Taipei before dawn Tuesday, knocking out power and shaking buildings. State radio said it was the strongest in Taiwan in 10 years.

Telephone service was interrupted for a time by the quake, which occurred at 1:47 a.m. (1:47 p.m. EDT). The Broadcasting Corp. of China said it was followed by six aftershocks and cut electric service in parts of the city. "There also are tsunami warnings out. There are warnings for Taiwan, Japan, the Philippines, Yap, Guam, and Palau," John Bellini, geophysicist.
