- ceejayoz 4y agoThose warn of an actively occurring earthquake. They don't predict an upcoming one.
- jjcon 4y agoAh okay I see the distinction, that makes sense. We can give advance warning better than we used to but not predict the actual impetus.
- layman51 4y agoYeah it is a cool system, but it only works well depending on your location in regards to the sensors that detect the earthquake. That determines whether you will have seconds or up to a minute of time to react. If you are closer to the epicenter than the sensors, then you will probably feel the tremors before the warning gets to you.
