My #RaspberryShake detected the M6.9 in the vicinity of the Tonga Islands. #EarthquakeMastodon https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/us6000kpls/executive

Hey #earthquakemastodon remember to fill out the "I felt it!" survey! This is super valuable to researchers. https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/ew1680647000/executive
Hey #EarthquakeMastodon, if you're looking for a #USGS bot and you want a wider scope than Alaska or California, check out @quakes (and @bbaugh).
@emsc #AlaskaTwitter know about this one?😂😅#EarthquakeMastodon

I just saw @CaliforniaQuakeBot was not converting UTC to local time. It should be now. Sorry, California. Hang in there, Ferndale. That's a lot of aftershocks. Been there, done that. 💔 #CaliforniaQuake #EarthquakeMastodon

#EarthquakeMastodon #MyShake #Alert is definitely working. Didn’t feel anything in #sf though a 6.x is pretty big. Hopefully everyone is okay up in the #Humboldt area.

Getting better.
All tsunami-alerting quakes should now get cross-posted. Most locals get the local hashtag, non-locals get the #EarthquakeMastodon hashtag.
California events are trickier. They come in three flavors in the source data, and just one without a comma.
I like my current code, as ", [state]" data can be parsed out without the extra hoops, e.g. I could do a Hawaii bot in moments. But some "x km from y" alerts get second-class treatment. Boo!

A play in three acts. There are (at least) two bugs in the quake bots, one I knew about one I didn't. First, the plan:
- In-region quakes get their own localized hashtag and time.
- Any quake that generates a tsunami alert gets cross-posted with the #EarthquakeMastodon hashtag and time stays in UTC.
Reality:
- In-region, tsunami-alerting quakes don't get cross-posted.
- When California is spelled out in the data, it's getting treated as non-local.
Time to get the big hammer.

It does! Hello #EarthquakeMastodon!

Good morning #earthquakemastodon! Local feed on https://sfba.social/home is pretty great for this

Let USGS know if you felt the earthquake in your location. #earthquake #quakesf #EarthquakeMastodon #quakestodon https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/nc73819746/tellus

Wow, what a perfect use case for the Mastodon local timeline! Hello SFBA #earthquakemastodon
