I didn't know they have an earthquake alarm.

yes. it was a busy night. Lots of little shakes. I have an earthquake meter and it beeped several times. The past month has actually been quite busy.

Thanks for the information.

What they say in the advertisement is so true, usually the earthquake is over and I am still thinking of whether it had been an earthquake or not.

I had actually been thinking of making a pendulum but for the low price of $23.
I will be ordering one of these very shortly. I love electronic gadgets!

If anyone else in Santiago is interested in getting one, let me know, we can save on shipping with a combined order, I use Business Mail to get stuff here.

My pleasure. I have used for several years. It works very well.

Let me correct myself first. It is an earthquake ALARM, not a meter. It does not give you a reading of strength. The system is a simple pendulum that, once shaking, gets in contact with two metal pins and sound an alarm upon contact. The theory is that it detects the sound waves few seconds before the destructive waves. We are only talking about 2-3 seconds before the shake so it is short but It can help you to be alert, at least.

You can buy it online. it comes from California and is called a Quake Alarm.

Thank you.

If it helps any, I got my EQ alarm here in the DR back in 2005. Details of distributor etc here post 18. It was delivered by a vendor from Montellano who installed it & explained it.
