Taiwan issues "final" quake report.
semibiznews.com

There is still more quaking in Taiwan. I recently had to cancel a trip there because it is still shaking (but not much in the Taipei area). I hear that the government is not allowing much to be published about the effects of the new shaking. I am fairly certain that the foundries are NOT being affected b/c we would hear about it then!

Taiwan shaken anew by three moderate earthquakes

TAIPEI, Oct 19 (Reuters) - Three moderately strong earthquakes shook Taiwan overnight and early on Tuesday, one month after a tremor killed 2,300 people.

There were no immediate reports of casualties from the quakes, which followed a powerful tremor that struck the southwestern United States on Saturday and two smaller quakes in Taiwan over the weekend.

Officials said Monday's quake measured 5.0 on the Richter scale and was centred in Hualien, a seismically active area on Taiwan's eastern shore.

The earthquake's highest magnitude on land was four on the Richter scale in Hsilin town of Hualien county.

An early Tuesday quake measured 5.5 on the Richter scale and was centred in Nantou county, near where a massive quake occurred in September. The highest magnitude of the Tuesday tremor was five in Mingchien, central Nantou county.

The other quake on Tuesday measured 5.0 on the Richter scale and was also centred in Nantou. The highest magnitude of the third earthquake was five, also in Mingchien.

Much of Taiwan is still recovering from a mammoth earthquake on September 21. It was the island's strongest in a century at 7.6 on the Richter scale and killed 2,321 people, toppled or damaged 51,000 buildings and rendered 82,238 homes uninhabitable.

On Saturday, a quake measuring 7.0 on the open-ended Richter scale rocked a large part of the southwestern United States, derailing a passenger train and knocking out power in some areas.
