While Taipei is 155 miles from the epicenter I'm not surprised you felt a rolling sensation that far away. This was a shallow quake.

From USGS: Depth 23.1 km (14.4 miles).

Please be sure to log whatever you felt during the quake, and whether or not anything moved or fell in your location.

.Did You Feel It? — Tell Us !

It helps the continuing research done by seismologists. The goal is to better predict earthquakes, damages, injuries as well as construct better buildings which can withstand earthquakes,
