I don't get it. Potential for what? Am I the only one that prefers depth and accuracy over haste and inanity?
According the graph one source had information within a few minutes and the AP had information in under 10 minutes. I'm sure anyone in the area knew immediately without Twitter's help.
- akd 18y agoDepth and accuracy? The first AP article isn't going to have anything except "there was an earthquake." Perhaps they will have the Richter number. They will definitely not have the epicenter or the damage/casualties. It may even be less than 140 characters :)
- tlrobinson 18y agoThe quickest place you'll get the epicenter/magnitude from is USGS: http://quake.usgs.gov/recenteqs/ http://quake.usgs.gov/recenteqs/ You can sign up for SMS alerts too: https://sslearthquake.usgs.gov/ens/ https://sslearthquake.usgs.gov/ens/
