Earthquake in Nothern California

Today at 10:40 a 4.3 magnitude earthquake hit Northern California.
I learned about this from twitscoop.com. Well not the details, just the initial fact.
Twitscoop crawls hundreds of tweets on twitter every minute and extracts the words which are mentionned more often than usual. It permanently updates the main screen:

The more a word is used in tweets the bigger the font is on twitscoop.
For more detailed statistics you can get the timeline graph which looks like this:

We can clearly see when it began: as it happened more and more people set their tweets with the word "earthquake".
Anyway, we hope everything is OK over there.
