Earthquake with a magnitude of 4.1 strikes Tainan region
A magnitude 4.1 earthquake occurred in southern Taiwan at 2:57pm, according to a report by the Central Weather Administration (CWA). The epicentre of the quake was located in the region, but the exact coordinates are not provided.
The earthquake's intensity varied across the affected areas. In Tainan City, the intensity was recorded as 3 on Taiwan's seven-tier intensity scale. The neighbouring cities of Kaohsiung and Yunlin experienced an intensity of 2 on the scale.
However, the intensity of the earthquake in Chiayi County was significantly higher, reaching 4 on the scale. The CWA did not provide the intensity data for other locations in southern Taiwan.
The seven-tier intensity scale is a method used to quantify the perceived shaking intensity of an earthquake, offering a measure of its actual effect rather than just its magnitude.
The depth of the earthquake's hypocenter was 12.5km. No immediate reports of damage have been made following the earthquake, but the CWA did not provide any information about the potential for damage due to the intensities.
The hypocentre of the earthquake was 46.4km east-northeast of Tainan City Hall. As of now, the current head of the Central Weather Administration in Taiwan is not specified in the available search results.
