More than 80 earthquakes, the strongest of 6.0 magnitude, have struck Taiwan’s east coast and some caused shaking of buildings in the capital Taipei, the island’s weather administration said. The 6.0 magnitude quake recorded at a depth of 10km and struck about 2.30am AEST on Tuesday, according to Geoscience Australia. The quakes on Monday night and into Tuesday morning were centred on the largely rural eastern county of Hualien, where on April 3 at least 14 people died after a 7.

The fire department in Hualien said early on Tuesday that a hotel which had already been damaged on April 3 and was no longer in operation was now slightly leaning on its side.

The quake was felt by many who shared what they experienced on social media, including Canadian YouTuber Angelo Bonaccorso who caught his reaction on camera. “Holy s**t, holy s**t,” he said. “Things are literally f*****g falling outside, oh my god.
