MyShake Earthquake Alerts

Living in Mexico city we had something like this for a while . But now I live in Los Angeles California and I don't know how people in the US are gonna react when they get the warning a strong earthquake is coming because people In Mexico are already use to getting them alerts that say "Strong earthquake is coming " since they have so many strong earthquakes and an early warning on their phone and they had them for a while . So since this is gonna be new to people in the US who knows how they gonna react ! Also I think we need the Alarm. I know that they have them were they have tornadoes in the US .But in Mexico city when u get the notification on your phone the Air raid siren also goes on really loud all over the city the first time I had no idea what was happening I tought a war was happening when I heard the alarm all over the city till I saw everyone running outside and they were screaming earthquake and sure enough 30 seconds later BAM strong earthquake hit . They should have those in California not only in places were they have tornadoes so people can have time to go hide ! I saw it helps they had about 30 seconds to get outside .

Wow, had what seemed like lots of time on earthquake warning tonight! My phone made a very distinct sound and said something to the effect Earthquake alert, drop, cover, 5.7 Kern County. I was at first a little unsure, as I hadn’t felt anything, then I knew I better get out of laying on the electric lounge chair so I can at least sitting up so I can be ready to move, then I opened Maps to see where Kern County was, it said 111 miles away. I moved to a better area in my house, then started feeling and hearing slight shaking. Then I took a video of our pendant light swaying slightly. Exciting, thankfully not too exciting. Next time I’ll be less unsure and just act much quicker, it could be less time, closer and bigger I know! Important and so so helpful! Thank you!!!!! Very cool!!! That’s what I wrote previously, back here again to say thank you, had new early warnings today of quakes, thank you!!!! You are amazing, love this important precious app!!!!

Switched to this app from another earthquake app and this is better since it allows a home base to be set. Yes there is a sw bug that the app doesn’t seem to do anything after setting the home base, but if you go back through the settings the home base has indeed been set. Home base is essential to me since I run with location tracking off to save battery capacity. I run with a VPN so we’ll see if the app works with that. It would be great if there was a test mode that would allow a user to verify notification and trigger off any earthquake of any magnitude 3.5 or greater in California, Oregon or Washington. I would also like a notification of ANY deep earthquake on the Cascadia subduction zone in case there are any precursor earthquakes providing early warning.
