Local netizens from Putian confirmed the intensity of the earthquake, with comments like: "Putian +1. It's really strong." "Putian +1, the first time I felt an earthquake while in a car on flat ground." "It's so serious that we Fujian people, who are used to small tremors, wouldn't consider running downstairs. We wouldn't even run downstairs for those minor tremors we've experienced before."
The China Earthquake Networks Center stated that this earthquake is the strongest in China so far this year, with a very wide range of tremors felt. The earthquake was strongly felt across the entire island of Taiwan, and tremors were also very noticeable in Fujian, Guangdong, as well as feedback from Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Shanghai, and other areas.
