Earthquake in Hong Kong

A tremor was felt in Hong Kong early this evening at around 7:53pm. I felt my sofa shake a little when I sat down to watch the TV. When I switched my TV to Cable TV News Channel, the TV announced a minor tremor of 3.5 on the Richter Scale. This was the first earthquake felt in Hong Kong for me. I have felt earthquakes in two other occasions: once in Scarborough, Toronto about 15 years ago and the other in Taipei, Taiwan in 2001. The one in Taiwan was the strongext I felt. One of the tower cranes of under-construction Taipei 101 (tallest building in Taiwan) fell down from the top, and luckily nobody got hurt!
