This is amazing stuff - Given that the big one is more a matter of when then if... I am all for the idea of advance warning~

Where does Idaho rank? We have been living in Montana for the past 5 years and I am not supri sexy shop to find it #3 on the "worst" list. Considering a sexshopmove to Idaho to escapthe high cost of living a low income in MT. There may not be a sales tax here but they get you if you own property!

The city that would win the award for the most use of this software ... drumroll - SAN FRANCISCO!!

Great video!

Actually, while San Francisco would benefit greatly from this, there are a number of faults throughout California. In Fact the Hayward fault runs directly below memorial stadium at Cal Berkeley - and in 1990 cause a lot of damage to many structures in and around the east bay after a series of shakers! So really we will all be better off with a better understanding and warning system!~

Wonderful video - except this plan is at least 10 years old.

Patent was issued 10 years ago this month for exactly this type of early warning system for earthquakes.
