6.1-magnitude earthquake strikes Taiwan's east coast, per USGS

Strong quake rattles Taiwan, but no major damage apparent

Two hikers in the famed Toroko Gorge national park, including one from Malaysia, were injured by falling rocks, the Hualien government reported. Water pipes at the citys train station burst and rail traffic was briefly suspended.

At the leaning building in downtown Taipei, area resident Ayumi Lin said the force of the temblor was felt strongly.

It was really scary, Lin, 50, said. The quake shook strongly twice.
