Jessica Yellin Instagram – 7.7 Earthquake Strikes Tawain A massive earthquake struck Taiwan Wednesday morning. It was initially recorded as a 7.4 magnitude quake but that has been revised up. The quake which hit Hualien, in Eastern Taiwan, and reportedly could be felt across the island. Some buildings were knocked off their foundations, others crushed, freeways can be seen in video shifting. Internet and power are reported to be out to thousands.
