County commissioner April Yao called the quake “extremely strong” on her Facebook page.

    The Taiwanese fire department said it had not received any reports of damage. Taiwan’s east coast has not experienced any interruptions in electricity supply, according to state-owned utility Taipower. According to the weather bureau, the quake was felt across Taiwan.

Taiwan is prone to earthquakes because it lies near two tectonic plates.
