I was on my way to LA when it went off. My GoPro was on too but so was Orson Welle’s 1938 War of the Worlds. I was listening to it for the first time alone in the dark. It seemed too much of a coincidence and there was no knowing what was really happening so I let the camera loop record over the files. Won’t let that happen again.
Next time, go to Twitter. Twitter always knows what is happening first. The other night we had a 4.1 earthquake in Phoenix and I couldn’t find note of it anywhere until I went to Twitter. They had posted within 2 minutes. I didn’t get confirmation until 20 minutes later when USGS posted to their site.
