Original title: Taiwan’s sudden magnitude 6.4 seismic station netizens questioned: It is so big but there is no warning?
Overseas Network, January 3, China Seismological Network officially determined: At 17:46 on January 3, a magnitude 6.4 earthquake occurred in the waters of Hualien County, Taiwan (24.00 degrees north latitude, 122.39 degrees east longitude), with a focal depth of 15 kilometers. After the earthquake, Taiwanese netizens posted questions on the Internet: “There are usually so many small earthquake warnings, but this time there is a big earthquake but there is no warning?”
Based on the news from Zhongshi Electronic News and Dongsen News Cloud, after the earthquake, many Taiwanese netizens said on social media that they felt “extremely large.” Taiwanese media person Zhao Shaokang said that it has been a long time since there has been such a strong earthquake. “I don’t know if you have received the alert message? Is there a power outage? I hope everyone is safe.” The DPP “legislator” Gao Jiayu also issued an article saying: “There is no alert! How are you guys?”
Regarding the fact that the earthquake warning was not received, Taiwanese netizens expressed their agreement, saying, “There was no warning at all.” “There was no warning. Is the system broken long ago?” “Useful” “Usually there are so many small earthquake warnings, and there are also tests from time to time. This time it is really loud but there is no sound at all.” According to Taiwanese media, the Taiwan Meteorological Administration has previously explained that in order to issue an alarm, an earthquake must meet the two conditions of “estimated earthquake scale” and “estimated earthquake intensity”, and that this earthquake all meets the conditions. As for why the warning was not issued, we need to wait for the Meteorological Bureau to explain. (Overseas Net Wang Shanning)
