Sad Truth: No local channel has woken up to it, only 1 Breaking news banner in KPIX Channel 5 but others are busy playing late night informercials. How do people using no HN, twitter, facebook etc get updates?


Quake.usgs.gov has accurate data within seconds of quakes. Back in the day you could get latest quake info on their finger server.


I set up a geofence on the USGS web site so that I get notified of earthquakes over a certain magnitude. USGS will send you emails and/or text you.

Back when I was a kid (when there was no internet) we'd turn on an all news AM station until they mentioned it.


breakingnews.com was on it within minutes: https://twitter.com/BreakingNews/status/503489912528969728

I wouldn't imagine many people watch TV at 3:30am anyway. And why people wouldn't use twitter and other social media to look for updates on breaking news?
