M5.4 Earthquake – Northern California

  • I found this notable because it's the first time I've received a push notification in the U.S. about an earthquake, which I received about 10 seconds before the shaking started.

  • I’m in Nevada City, CA (~2.5hr northeast of SF) and saw the notification maybe 3-5 seconds prior. Everyone in my workplace stepped out of their offices and said they all saw the notification before the building started shaking.

  • Is it me, or have there been more earthquakes in the Bay Area lately?

  • Gotta love .gov websites commitment to only show us UTC. In normal human time that's 4:19:41 pm PDT
