Have made contact with family in Feng Yuan, Taichung Hsien. They have survived without suffering serious injuries or fatalities, but do have damaged homes with loss of possessions. Unsuccessfully attempting to make contact with family in Ching Hsueh and Hsinchu to determine their condition.

Thanks Phil Stewart.
