Above what the stipulated shaking revealed. so it was just the way that the system was designed. in fact, the same thing happened again tonight. my understanding the alerts did not go out on shake alert la. the magnitude that was estimated with an early warning system was 6.2. so the initial magnitude estimate was too low. consequently, the intensities were below thatthreshold. the system is not perfect. what was experienced in the pasadena, l. a. area were not damaging ground motions. whats goi...

It has been felt in los angeles. >> so the system worked and said theres an earthquake of about 6.2, producing energy and the warning came through. do we have a time of how much warning we got in pasadena? and the final magnitude -- okay, so in los angeles, there was 48-second warning that the shaking was arriving. obviously, it was not damaging shaking. thats one of the downsides to this only approach that we have. the farther away you are, the more warning you get and the less likely it is to ...

Usgs. have you been able to see anymore information from their website or anything? >> it will still down, briana, believe it or not. once it comes up, the shake maps are going to tell us everything. however, im going to give you information from the counterpart of the european company that does pretty much the same thing as the usgs. they monitor the world as well. first of all, let me just tell you between las vegas and bakersfield, pretty close to the death valley national park right in the c...

Threatening its not telling us anything so we can just relax your attitude as who in 6.2. waves might still primal anxiety and let us sleep easy but one of the ocean is far away. is highway noise and effective substitute. is one for when traffic noise isnt all that different when the vehicles are just passing by at a constant speed and not starting and stopping on the stuff once again the sound is continuous over time and of a constant volume because the cars are driving at around the same speed...

Starting out running for the senate or the house. there are some aberrations out there and hopefully well see another one happen this year with the candidate who is -- is running. but building that farm team means planting the seeds in the soil and giving it time to run. so our hope is that over the next few cycles well have more and more candidates being successful because well pick the kind of candidates that already have a strong reputation, a strong legacy of service and a way for us to help...
