I want this. Earthquake warning.

Residents of Tokyo likely had about 80 seconds of warning before a devastating quake rumbled through the city after striking 373 kilometers away, off Japan's northeast coast, thanks to a new early warning system.

I live in a town that is going to be flattened by the San Andres quake. And it'll take like a minute to get here. I should be able to be told about this and run off to some place that won't get hit by anything. Also somebody was interviewed and mentioned that her computer screen popped up and said an earthquake was hitting in 60 seconds.
