Day 2 - Shake it Up

This morning at just past 11am local we were hit with a nice 4.9 magnitude earthquake here in Taiwan - about 33 miles south-south-east of us in Taipei.  On the 9th floor it felt like a bit of shaking, some rumbling, a peak, then a bit more shaking.  Good times!

I only wish we were back up on 89 at Taipei 101 - that would be cool.  I'm certain that mass damper moved a bit with the way we were rocking and rolling down here closer to the earth.  To quote one of my mates "time to leave this shit hole".
