Taiwan early on April 3, AP reports.
Nine people have been confirmed dead so far.
Over 900 others have been injured.
Dozens of people are
trapped in buildings and quarries. .

tsunami warning that has since been lifted.

I’ve grown accustomed
to (earthquakes). But today
was the first time I was scared
to tears by an earthquake. , Hsien-hsuen Keng, a resident who lives in
a fifth-floor apartment in Taipei, via AP.
