This is the best summary I could come up with:

A major earthquake with a magnitude of 7.4 struck off Taiwan’s eastern coast Wednesday, according to the US Geological Survey, prompting tsunami warnings for the island and southern Japan.

Military personnel have been dispatched to help with disaster relief and schools and workplaces have suspended operations as aftershocks hit the island.

Footage from Reuters showed several collapsed buildings in Hualien and residents helping trapped people escape through the window of a damaged apartment complex.

Video broadcast by CNN affiliate TVBS showed how Taiwanese people captured the moment the tremors struck inside their homes and businesses.

A CWA alert advised residents to evacuate to higher ground as a tsunami was expected to impact the island’s northern coastal area.

The Japan Meteorological Agency also issued a tsunami alert for the southern Miyakojima and Okinawa islands, warning of waves up to 3 meters (nearly 10 feet) high.
