Just out: Strong Quakes Shake Taiwan, but No Immediate Reports of Damage The Associated Press Sep 1, 2002 TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) - Two strong earthquakes shook Taiwan on Sunday, but no damage or injuries were immediately reported. A 5.6-magnitude quake centered 41 miles offshore from the eastern coastal county of Hualien rattled eastern and northern Taiwan, the Central Weather Bureau said. An hour later, another 6.0-magnitude quake struck 63 miles east of Hualien, a coastal city about 90 miles southeast of Taipei, the Bureau said. Earthquakes frequently hit the island, but most cause little or no damage. However, in September 1999, a 7.6-magnitude earthquake killed more than 2,300 people and destroyed thousands of homes.
