False Earthquake Warning

This Friday, people in Tokyo got an early earthquake warning. It was just that it was a false alarm. The early warning system probably misread two minor quakes as one bigger quake.

Japan is one of the most seismic active areas of the world. People on Japan are used to earthquakes. Still, it is important that the warning systems work properly. I am sure the ingenious Japanese will learn from this mistake and finetune the system. The false alarm will, thus, make future false alarms less likely. This is good for the humans and dogs of Japan.
