The Intensity (human feeling) at Taipei is just Lv.3 (because epicenter is almost 250km or 161 miles away), which means "Almost everyone will feel shaking, and some may experience fear"[1]. Such degree is not very rare at Taiwan, so most people will just act as "hmm", "OK fine".

Also after the 921 Earthquake[2], Taiwan raise earthquake-resistant structures standard, therefore most new buildings will be fine under 5 or 6 Intensity.
