4. moments like this is where Twitter is still valuable

Tons of videos of swaying stuff and dozens of posts by experts and scientists

[intrepidity]

5. But not on bluesky? nt

[WarGamer]

7. on bluesky it's mostly people LINKING offsite to reports

But the big sources post directly on Twitter

[obamanut2012]

18. Not what I'm seeing

[WarGamer]

21. is the USGS on BS?

[eShirl]

8. try Bluesky instead

tired: earthquake twitter
wired: tsunami bluesky

[WarGamer]

9. as I stated above... BS just links offsite.

The real experts and sources post directly on Twitter... at least for now

[CountAllVotes]

10. try me

I'm on the epicenter it seems!

141' above sea level luckily!

[eShirl]

11. try latest posts instead of top posts

[Qutzupalotl]

24. Because links on twitter will be demoted

but Bluesky allows them.

I don't trust a platform that discourages links and lets you pretend to be an authority for a fee.

12. Stay safe folks

Move to higher ground or get out of the area

14. The tsunami warning has been canceld...

About five minutes ago. They said the type of motion of the quake made it not a destructive tsunami type.

17. PHEW

[2naSalit]

20. No shit!

13. Wait till Musk gets his hands on NOAA

You’ll have pay a subscription to get real time alerts.

[2naSalit]

15. No doubt.

The idea of not having much of the weather and earthquake info I rely on every day just makes me mad.

[bdamomma]

23. They are

totally nuts and hate science. NOAA???? The weather channel counts on NOAA.

19. Right near the Mendocino triple junction.

PNW folks review your earthquake plans! Never hurts to review them.
