[LINK] Earthquake text-alerts

[Scott Howard]

I live in one of the areas covered by this (the SF Bay Area), have had the
software running on my phone for close to 2 years, and have had a phone
that supports it natively for almost a year.

"Unfortunately", in that time we haven't had a sufficiently large enough
quake to trigger it.  We have quakes here on an almost daily basis, but
they are generally small enough to not even feel, and thus not enough for
them to alert on.
