two hotels a business college and a military hospital toppled plus many buildings in danger or unstable...epicenter was only 1 mile under the sea...22 kilometers northeast of Hualien....my wife grew up there...my son grew up there through 3rd grade. earthquakes are common but this one was close to the surface
