Re:7.4 earthquake in Taiwan, 34km depth by kurthr on Tuesday April 02, 2024 @09:53PM (#39912836)
I'm hopeful for the 3nm Tainan fabs, but I expect disruption at the Taichung and Hsinchu fabs since the quake was felt in Taipei. It's common for the equipment to be recalibrated and tested, if you can feel an event. I suspect this was felt in the west. Hopefully, not down for a week, if everything is good.

Hopefully, the towns and people on the east coast are OK, but this one is big.

edit- Since there are reports of shaking in Kaohsiung (farther south than Tainan), I'm less hopeful for the southern fabs.
