I'm wondering why I didn't get a reminder from MyShake ... Off to check settings.

If you're in the PNW and *didn't* get a loud alert about an earthquake drill, now is the perfect time to download the MyShake app

Yes this message is a subpost directed at my husband but maybe it also applies to you 🙃

Fake-quake! Great California Shakeout! Only a 4.5?!? Hardly worth the drop & cover...

I got visual alerts on my watch and phone, but only my watch made a noise.

Which is interesting to me since my settings for the MyShake app are that the watch should mirror phone notifications.

I dropped, covered, and held-on for the Great Shakeout (while reviewing papers and grading after a run). Did you?

In 2019, California built the nation's first statewide system to give people a warning before an earthquake strikes, delivering alerts through MyShake, Wireless Emergency Alerts, and Android.

In 2025, it sent roughly 7.5 million alerts before shaking began near Julian.

Me during the Great Shake Out alert from MyShake this morning:

Wake me when the real thing happens. Till then, I'm born and raised in California. I know if it gets real big, I'm running outside.

I have gotten an alert before I felt shaking.

At about 10:15 a.m., more than 120 Washington tsunami sirens along the inner and outer coast will be tested using the real wailing sound of a tsunami warning. DO NOT CALL 911. EAS will sound on radio & TV.

Wireless Emergency Alert text system on cell phones will NOT be tested.

Graphic has more.
Headline says: “GREAT WASHINGTON SHAKEOUT ALERT TESTS.” WHAT ALERTS COULD I GET ON 10/15? You may get an alert, If you have downloaded the MyShake app, on Broadcast TV and radio, NOAA weather radio, Tsunami sirens, Tri-Cities outdoor warning sirens. You will not get an alert from on your phone frm earthquake early warning sources, wireless emergency alerts, no alerts from Streaming TV and radio, satellite radio, no alerts from Pierce County lahar sirens. Your city, county, and/or tribal government may also test their local emergency alert systems as part of the Great Washington ShakeOut.

Emergency alerts are tested as part of the Great Washington ShakeOut to ensure the systems are working and to help the public be familiar with the kinds of alerts they may receive in a real emergency. If you receive one of these alerts on 10/15, take this opportunity to take the protective actions you would in a real emergency.

The MyShake app didn’t go off for me during the test today (none of my settings would’ve prevented it). I don’t have a ton of confidence in that app. It has gone off for me on a couple I didn’t feel, not at all during a couple that I felt, and *after* the most significant one I’ve felt.

Proof that I'm just a gal who's a vivid dreamer 🤪

/fin
Screenshot of the Earthquake List view within the Berkeley MyShake app. There are a handful of earthquakes before and after the time my dream so rudely interrupted my other dream but... nothing even remotely geographically close! A graphic textbox has been overlaid at a jaunty angle in which I wrote, "where's my (imaginary) earthquake?? 🤣🤣" and drew an arrow in between two real life earthquakes, clearly showing that my experience was definitely a dream experienced by no one else.
