Taipei, July 16 (CNA) Five earthquakes rattled Taiwan on Saturday between about 9 a.m. and 5 
p.m., but did not result in any damage, according to the Central Weather Bureau.
The strongest temblor with a magnitude of 4.1 hit Zhunan in Miaoli County at 9:19 a.m., the bureau’s seismology data showed.
Though the quake’s magnitude was not threatening, its very shallow depth of 3.5 kilometers meant that it still registered an intensity of 4 in Zhunan and an intensity of 3 in Miaoli City.
Intensity, measured in Taiwan on a 1-7 scale, gauges the actual effect of a temblor at a specific location. An intensity of 4 means structures can shake strongly. [FULL STORY]
