Rated 5 out of 5 stars

first, five stars so not to mess your record - this program is apparently loved by geolovers,not so well liked depending on distance from a fault.

Anyway: 1) if this program actually has feature to use speakers to rumble system, please make them off-able.

2) it *may* be possible to choose report centers, at least in US, where data from Lamont-Dougherty (n of NYC) would be the most immediately critical. If they jump, bigtime, I head for door, because a) shockwave may not have reached me yet, b) at 4 mi inland on a barrier island, I want to be 10 mi inland and turn to the tsunami reports when I get there.

Note for I want MY nation, this *could* and should be an ez-patch, just changing the line for the nearest observatory and its data format. BUT if the Big One hits out West (boy is us going to need world help!) every station is going to report it, If Aetna breaks its slumber, local station *wherever* will be jumping, and (wishing no nation or region any more of an earthquake than I'd want) ditto for recent big one in China, though BIG in terms of damage might nogt be big on a the local scale, villages are crushed by minor temblors if not built to code, and there are reports saying the Appalachian Fault Line could go as easily as the California plate complex or elsewhere on the Ring of Fire.
