Years ago when I was living in Southern Oregon we had a pretty good earthquake (it was the first one this former midwestern boy had ever experienced and it scared the bejeesus out of me!). I was getting ready for bed so I turned the TV back on to find out what had just happened. Nothing was reported until sometime the next day although the FM radio stations were reporting on the damage and other information almost immediately. Just goes to show you - the more remote the area, the less likely the TV press is to think it important enough to report on. I like my Grundig AM/FM/SW just fine.

By the way, somehow the Nisqually earthquake was always located in Seattle by the national press even though the epicenter was quite a bit south being closer to Olympia. Not that we're complaining down this way, Seattle is welcome to any earthquake they want <img src="images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
