Los Angeles experienced a significant earthquake on Monday, with a magnitude of 4.7. The epicenter was near Pasadena, and the tremor was felt across a wide area. While no major damage or injuries have been reported, authorities are urging residents and visitors to be prepared for potential aftershocks, which could cause disruptions to transportation and other services.
Taiwan’s eastern Hualien county, which was struck by a 7.2 magnitude earthquake on April 3, has experienced more than 200 aftershocks since Monday afternoon. The aftershocks, which ranged in magnitude from 4.3 to 6.3, have caused minor damage to buildings but no casualties have been reported. The Central Weather Administration said the aftershocks are a “concentrated release of energy” and that more could be expected, although perhaps not as strong. Residents in Hualien have been advised to be prepared for further disruption as heavy rain is predicted for the region this week.
Taiwan has experienced a series of aftershocks following a 6.3-magnitude earthquake on Tuesday, the strongest to hit the island in 25 years. The quake caused significant damage, including the collapse of two historic buildings. Residents are urged to make earthquake preparations as aftershocks are expected to continue for at least six months.
Taiwan has experienced over 80 earthquakes, the largest of which measured 6.3 magnitude, starting on Monday night and continuing into Tuesday morning. The epicenter of the quakes was in the eastern county of Hualien, where a 7.2 magnitude temblor on April 3 resulted in the deaths of at least 14 people. Since then, Taiwan has been experiencing hundreds of aftershocks.
