The earthquake hit the east coast of Taiwan, about 14 miles east-northeast of Hualian, around 11:50 p.m. local time, the U.S. Geological Survey reported. Preliminary information stated the quake was about six miles deep.
Another 5.1 magnitude tremor was felt shortly after.
Dramatic photos of damage after the quake showed Marshal hotel in Hualien partially collapsed, according to the Taiwan Observer. Rescue teams are responding to the area and people are believed to be trapped in the hotel.
Another building called the Beautiful Life Hotel is also tilting.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

I'm kinda ticked off I didn't see that on my news feed this morning. I don't watch tv and rely on my feeds for news....I'm surprised this wasn't mentioned...Quote from: "Berry Sweet"
I didn't check the internet at all this morning..
I found out when someone at work asked me if I had relatives or knew anyone who lived in the earthquake zone.

Taiwan seems to get more earthquakes than even Japan does.Quote from: "iron horse jockey"
They are both in the same seismic zone. Both get their share of shakers.
