Moderate Quake Rattles Taiwan
A moderate earthquake shook central Taiwan on Thursday, the latest in a series of aftershocks following a temblor Sunday that set off rock slides, blocked traffic and injured 36 people.
No damage or injuries were immediately reported from Thursday's quake, with a preliminary magnitude of 4.7, the same as an aftershock on Wednesday.
The quake struck at 9:40 a.m. about 30 miles north of Mount Yu,the highest mountain in Taiwan, is about 180 miles south of Taipei.
Taiwan has been shaken several times this week, following Sunday's quake with a magnitude of 6.7.Two people died of heart attacks that doctors said appeared to have been related to the quake.
