PRESIDENT TSAI HAS ASKED HER ADMINISTRATION

TO WORK WITH LOCAL GOVERNMENTS ON ASSISTANCE. >> WAY I CAN GO AWAY. I WOULD LIKE TO >> ASK YOU TO CONTINUE TO PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE SITUATION IN VARIOUS PLACES AND INITIATE VARIOUS CONTINGENCY MEASURES TO PROTECT THE SAFETY OF THE PEOPLE MANY NOW FIND THEMSELVES IN DARKNESS

NAVIGATING THE RUINS OF THEIR HOMES. AND BRACING FOR THE RELENTLESS AFTERSHOCKS AND ZAIN ASHER BIADA, WE HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT THIS EARTHQUAKE HAPPENED JUST A DAY BEFORE TOMB SWEEPING DAY TO SWEEPING DAY IN MUCH OF THE CHINESE SPEAKING PART OF THE WORLD IS A DAY WHEN PEOPLE, WHEN

RELATIVES VISIT THEIR ANCESTORS TOMBS AND PAY THEIR RESPECTS BUT BECAUSE WE’RE SEEING AFTERSHOCKS VERY POWERFUL AFTERSHOCKS THAT THE TAIWANESE AUTHORITIES HAVE WARNED COULD LAST FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS AND MANY PEOPLE IN TAIWAN HAVE HAD TO CANCEL THEIR PLANS. AND INSTEAD GRAPPLE WITH THE AFTERMATH OF THE LARGEST

EARTHQUAKE THEY’VE SEEN AND WITNESSED IN THE PAST 25 YEARS. >> HONEYCOMB MONTGOMERY LIFE FORCE THAT THANK YOU SO MUCH. WE APPRECIATE IT. ALL RIGHT. THE TSUNAMI THREAT HAS ENDED RECOVERY EFFORTS UNDERWAY DESPITE CONTINUING AFTERSHOCKS THAT HANNUKAH WAS JUST LAYING OUT THEIR CNN METEOROLOGISTS, ELISA RAFFA JOINS US LIVE

NOW FROM ATLANTA AT LEAST THE DAMAGE IS INCREDIBLE, RIGHT? IT IS EXTENSIVE. YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT BUILDINGS THAT HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY DESTROYED LANDSLIDES, HIGHWAYS THAT HAVE BEEN CLOSED. >> YOU’VE GOT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITHOUT POWER. OBVIOUSLY, PEOPLE TRAPPED IN BUILDINGS AT THIS POINT IN TIME. WHAT ARE AUTHORITIES UP

AGAINST IN TERMS OF RESCUING THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE TRAPPED RIGHT NOW? >> YEAH, WE’VE GOT SHOWERS THAT WILL BE IN THE FORECAST FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS AND WHILE THIS MAGNITUDE OF EARTHQUAKE IS SO RARE, WE ACTUALLY ARE IN AN AREA OF THE WORLD WHERE EARTHQUAKES THEMSELVES

ARE PRETTY COMMON. THE AREA THERE IN SOUTHEAST ASIA IS PRONE TO EARTHQUAKES WERE LOOKING AT THE RING OF FIRE, BASICALLY, WE’VE GOT THE PLATE TECTONICS OF THE EARTH. THE EARTH IS SPLIT INTO PLATES. AND ONCE THOSE PLATES KINDA HIT UP AGAINST EACH OTHER, OR THEY MOVE, THAT’S WHERE

taiwan earthquake, taiwan earthquake now, taiwan earthquakes, taiwan earthquake today tainan, taiwan earthquake today tsunami warning, taiwan earthquake report, taiwan earthquake today news, taiwan earthquake video, taiwan earthquake tsmc, taiwan earthquake reddit, taiwan earthquake death toll, taiwan earthquake april 3 2024, taiwan earthquake april 2 2024, taiwan earthquake and tsunami, taiwan earthquake aftershock, taiwan earthquake airport, taiwan earthquake april 3, taiwan earthquake alert

YOU GET THE EARTHQUAKES. AND IF YOU LOOK AT EASTERN ASIA, SOUTHEAST ASIA, ALL OF THESE ISLANDS HERE ARE REALLY PRONE GROUND ZERO FOR ALL OF THAT SHAKING MORE THAN 450 EVOLVE VOLCANOES ARE IN THAT AREA RIA 90% OF THE WORLD’S EARTHQUAKES HAPPEN IN THAT RING OF FIRE, LIKE

I MENTIONED, THAT SEVEN POINT MAGNITUDE EARTHQUAKE IS PRETTY RARE, ONLY HAPPENS 15 TIMES A YEAR WORLDWIDE. BUT WHEN IT DOES HAPPEN, THIS IS THE DESTRUCTION. I MEAN, WE’RE LOOKING AT BUILDINGS THAT ARE CROOKED UPSIDE DOWN, JUST TOTALLY TOPPLED AND DESTROYED LANDSLIDES BEING TRIGGERED FROM FROM THIS AND THE

AFTERSHOCKS THAT WILL COME IS EVEN MORE VULNERABLE BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH THEY MIGHT BE LESSER QUAKES THAN THE ORIGINAL SEVEN POINT MAGNITUDE, YOU HAVE BUILDINGS THAT LOOK LIKE THAT, SO THEY’RE MORE SUSCEPTIBLE NOW IT’S EVEN MORE DAMAGE BECAUSE THEY ARE LOSING THEIR FOUNDATION AND THEIR STRUCTURES SEVEN POINT MAGNITUDE

ON THE EAST COAST OF TAIWAN, ANY TSUNAMI ALERTS HAVE BEEN LIFTED BUT WE HAVE HAD ABOUT 29 EARTHQUAKE SINCE THEN THE AFTERSHOCKS THAT HAVE BEEN FOUR POINT MAGNITUDE OR HIGHER, SO THEY’VE BEEN PRETTY SIGNIFICANT. AN EARTHQUAKE LIGHTS OUT ON HIS OWN COULD DO A LOT OF DAMAGE. HERE’S

THAT THREE-DAY FORECAST GOING THROUGH THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS TEMPERATURES AT IN A LITTLE BIT ABOVE IN THE MIDDLE 20s. BUT WE ARE LOOKING AT SOME SHOWERS THROUGH THURSDAY, FRIDAY SATURDAY, ACROSS THE ISLAND AS WE GO THROUGH THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. SO THAT COULD BE A PROBLEM

FOR RESCUERS TRYING TO GO THROUGH THE RUBBLE CLEANUP EFFORTS, AS WELL AS WE’RE LOOKING AT SOME SHOWERS THAT COME OFF OF MAINLAND CHINA AND THEN CUT ACROSS THE ISLAND. AND THIS WILL BE THROUGH THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. BUT THOSE AFTERSHOCKS WE’LL CONTINUE. AND AGAIN, LIKE AT OUR

LAST CHECK, MOST OF THEM HAVE BEEN PRETTY STRONG FOUR POINT MAGNITUDE OR HIRE A LOT OF THEM FIVE POINT MAGNITUDE. SO THEY’LL REALLY HAVE TO DEAL WITH THAT THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS, LADIES. >> YEAH. THEY’VE GOT A VERY DIFFICULT FEW DAYS AHEAD. UNLESS I KNOW YOU SAID

THAT THE TSUNAMI THROAT HAD BEEN LIFTED. I HAD SEEN IMAGES OF OCEAN WATER’S RECEDING IN JAPAN YESTERDAY. DOES THAT MEAN THEY’RE IN THE CLEAR NOW OR IS THERE STILL CAUSE FOR CONCERN >> NO. THEY SHOULD BE IN THE CLEAR GOING FORWARD ONCE THAT WAS LIFTED, A LOT OF

THAT THREAT FOR THIS TSUNAMI THREAT, THERE IS IS PRETTY IMMINENT, RIGHT? BECAUSE YOU JUST SHOOK ALL OF THIS LAND AND THAT CAN SLOSH THE OCEAN BACK-AND-FORTH MIGHT BE SOMETHING IN IT. THEY NEED TO MONITOR FOR THESE AFTERSHOCKS DEPENDING ON HOW STRONG THESE AFTERSHOCKS CAN BE. MUCH LIKE I

MENTIONED, SOME OF THEM HAD BEEN FIVE TO SIX POINT IN MAGNITUDE, WHICH IS PRETTY SIGNIFICANT. SO THEY’LL NEED TO KEEP MONITORING FOR THAT, FOR THAT. BUT IN THAT NEAR RIGHT NOW, ALL OF THOSE ADVISORIES AND WARNINGS HAVE BEEN I’VE BEEN ALLOWED
