Elizabeth TaskerTIL that my apartment has an earthquake alarm 🚨
zl2todQuite juicy that #eq.
The Japanese earthquake warning system is the envy of the world, did you have your TV on?
@zl2tod no, and my phone didn’t alarm this time either. Just a deceptively calm voice from my ceiling informing me that there was a quake. I admit to have already noticed 😅
The TV system is great from videos I've seen.
They cut into scheduled programming with live announcers who read the data on the quake as it comes in real time ... location, size etc, then the studio shakes.
It looks like today's was reasonably deep and not as large as early estimates so notso bad.
