Thanks for the information.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.
gamana: Thank you.
I didn't know they have an earthquake alarm.
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.

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!
