Footage broadcast by CNN affiliate TVBS showed how Taiwanese people captured the moment the tremors struck inside their homes and businesses using phones and security cameras.
Videos posted by Taiwan residents on social media and geolocated by CNN show some of the damage from a 7.4 magnitude earthquake that rocked the island early on Wednesday.
Taiwan was struck by its strongest earthquake in 25 years on Wednesday when a 7.4 magnitude tremor struck the island's eastern coast, collapsing buildings, killing at least four people and triggering tsunami warnings across the region that were later lifted.
There have been 29 aftershocks greater than a magnitude of 4.0 near the epicenter of the earthquake in east Taiwan so far, according to the United States Geological Survey (USGS).
Taiwan is regularly rocked by earthquakes due to its location on the Pacific Ring of Fire.
