I got alert after 10 mins of earthquake .....:(

  Yeah I found that pretty strange. I felt the earthquake, and searched Google for "earthquake nyc" results in the last hour - found nothing. 10 or 20 minutes later my phone starts buzzing informing me that there had been an earthquake. Seems rather pointless.

    Phone alert came here 1hr40min after the quake. [shrug] yes pretty useless

    I think the alert is to try to get people to stop calling the police to ask/inform them about what they felt.
