Kaohsiung, Taiwan — A magnitude 6.7 earthquake rattled southern Taiwan at 8:18 a.m. today (Mar. 4th), according to the CCTV news.

The epicenter, at a depth of about 6.0 km, was 22.9 degrees latitude north and 120.6 degrees longitude, in the same mountainous region of rural Kaohsiung county that endured the brunt of the damage from Typhoon Morakot, a devastating storm that killed about 700 people last August.

God bless Taiwan!
