#EarthquakeWarningCalifornia #MyShake

Check to make sure the "Global Notifications" setting in MyShake is off and that you've set a Home Base where you actually live or work.

You can also negate any alerts by turning your Location setting &/or by turning your Notifications Ringer off, which is what I do (for other reasons) because if any earthquake worth mention occurs near me, I'll already know it.

At least that's been the case for the past 72 yrs that I've lived in the SFBA .

”Drop, cover, and hold on!” Or so the warning went.

Earthquake Warning California’s new early warning system sent an alert, but we did not feel a thing here.

By detecting faster P waves and immediately broadcasting an alert before damaging S waves arrive, EWC can provide up to several seconds of warning before shaking begins.

I hope our friends up north are doing okay today. 🙁
