An Earthquake travels --what-- about 900 MPH?  The speed of sound in
dirt.  Northdrige the quake center is 15 miles away where a lot of
damage happened.  If there was a sensor and an alarm you would know 60
seconds before the earthquake hit.  Even 15 seconds, enoough time to
wake up and get under a table could save 100's of lives, in a strong
quake.  

Why is this not being done!  Why is there not Earthquake monitors
throughout California that would warn the surrounding towns!  Why
aren't all radios, tvs, and air raid sirens, immediately ringing the
warning!
