Earthquake!

I figured that when we left Chengdu, we would be out of the earthquake zone. But apparently I forgot that Taiwan, as a volcanic island, is even MORE earthquake prone than our home in China. So it was a bit of a surprise when we awoke a couple days ago to a shaking bed around 8am. Here's the map from USGS:
It was a 5.3 earthquake, about 50 km northeast of where we are in Kaohsiung. Fun fun!
