There's nothing on BBC news 24 or Sky news about an Earthquake in Taiwan here in the UK at the moment.

I v looked all over the web and get nothing,But I did read on sky news channel(didnt I!) or am I going mad

Image from USGS website, hopefully not strong enough for a Tsunami.

First news article pretty vague. Here
