Yeah post early today. OMG! Want to know why the connection so slow? Haha.. It's because of the earthquake in tawain which caused disruptions to the undersea cables, which results in slow internet access to some sites, but mostly to overseas sites.
And in regard to the earthquake in tawain last night, 2 ppl were killed and at least 42 ppl were injured. There were one large quake, with a magnitude of 7.1, and a series of smaller ones, woth 5.2,5.5,and 6.4 magnitude.
HistoryTawain, which lies near the junction of two tectonic plats, is regularly shaken by earthquakes. The country's worst, a 7.6 magnitude quake, killed some 2400 ppl in Sep 1999
The latest quakes came two years to the day after a massive 9.3 magnitude quake off the coast of Indonesia see off massive tsunamis that battered countries around the region, leaving around 220000 ppl dead. It was one of the worst natural disasters in recorded history.
After the tawain quakes, there's danger of destructive tsunami around the region area, but to relief the dnager has passed after the agency in tokyo measured one metre of possible of a destructive tsunami after the tawain quake.
Blah Blah thats all for the tawain quake. LOL!
