I have zero problems with all of the kink stuff in this thread so far but ORANGE? I don't care what color traffic lights might actually be (amber, maybe?), but those are called YELLOW LIGHTS. What in the world is wrong with you?

What do you mean by "edit the stream"?

Just as a note, there's nothing special about 10 on the magnitude scale. It's not a 10/10. Theoretically, you could have a 10.5 or 11.

A 10.0 is simply 10x more intense than a 9.0, which is 10x more intense than an 8.0, and so on. But a 10.0 would be so utterly insane, it's certainly interesting to imagine. A 8.0 would be catastrophic enough. The Great 1906 San Francisco earthquake was a 7.4, for reference.

The system didn't go off because in LA, the max intensity felt was like a 4.0-4.5. They're lowering the threshold now. This will probably result in over-alerting people, but... that's the tradeoff.

A lot of people in LA think they got hit by a 7.1 magnitude earthquake. They didn't - Ridgecrest did. LA felt the <4.5 distant rumblings of the quake over 100 miles away, which certainly was a scary enough experience when you don't know what's going on. Also scary since, I guess normal nearby 4.5 magnitude earthquakes are over quickly, but feeling the similar intensity shaking from a large earthquake from far away can go on for like a minute.
