Earthquake Devastates Taiwan Cities Killing 104
A powerful quake in Formosa's southern cities of Taiwan and Chiayi left 104 dead 542 injured and thousands homeless. The 3 second Saturday night tremor collapsed 1 753 homes and damaged 2 671 others while fires from overturned charcoal stores razed 124 houses in Chiayi. Premier Yen ordered rapid rehab as tremors registered varying grades across Tainan Chiayi and Taipei. No foreign casualties reported and an American tourist noted California quakes seem stronger.
