Taiwan Rocked by Strongest Earthquake in 25 Years

A magnitude 7.2 earthquake (7.4 per the USGS) struck Taiwan on 3 April 2024, killing at least nine people and injuring over 800, with dozens still trapped. It severed train lines, shuttered schools, cut power to tens of thousands of homes, prompted TSMC to evacuate production lines, and triggered temporary tsunami warnings in southern Japan and the Philippines.
