Hello, Earthquake Watchers!!!

Dear EEWBC twitter alarm followers.
This service is getting too slow for practical use and probably have to be discontinued. See FB page.

[EEW BC @eew_bc]

Testing EEWN warnings (sorry for the inconvenience)

[EEW BC @eew_bc]

Called the school, nothing unusual happening there. Wave forms show kids running but at a much lower level of acceleration. We'll see.

[EEW BC @eew_bc]

3402A is Barrowtown Elementary in Abbotsford.

[EEW BC @eew_bc]

Nothing further is happening, something very local. We'll see if it shows up in other feeds.

[EEW BC @eew_bc]

NOTICE: PGA= 626µg ID=3402B distance= 55.8km (18.6s)

[EEW BC @eew_bc]

Nothing to worry about - again, if you don't get a stream of tweets and if the word is "WARNING" there is nothing serious happening.

[EEW BC @eew_bc]

@aweirdo I will increase threshold for wellington tomorrow.

WARNING:310ug;t=160211_082357@6801 A;Wellington Secondary School

[EEW BC @eew_bc]

There is noise also at Lost Lake seismometer. If we get more, I will increase the warning level at Wellington a bit.

[EEW BC @eew_bc]

Nothing to worry about ... Noise at Wellington, possibly slow slip event again.

[EEW BC @eew_bc]

WARNING:325ug;t=160201_115729@6801 B;Wellington Secondary School

[EEW BC @eew_bc]

@seidlitz I experienced that ... Sometimes it is super fast, but it is not reliable. Twitter does not respond to their request forms ...

[EEW BC @eew_bc]

@tjryce Instead of getting everybody to jump at every tweet, I will explain on the facebook page.

[EEW BC @eew_bc]

@tjryce yes - it means the threshold of 0.3mg was exceeded in Nanaimo (barely). At 2mg the word "ALARM" is used instead of "WARNING"

[EEW BC @eew_bc]

I see corresponding very small shakes on NRC sensors (Lost Lake, Galiano Island). Hope you did not get too startled by the warning.

[EEW BC @eew_bc]

Probably a "slow slip" event ... we are getting hundreds of M0-M1 quakes these days. Nothing to worry about, not even possible to sense.

[EEW BC @eew_bc]

WARNING:309ug;t=160125_105909@6801 A;Wellington Secondary School

[EEW BC @eew_bc]

- M4.5 Quake a few minutes ago 200 km West of Tofino. No shaking reached our sensors due to the distance.
