Excellent!.
This video is fascinating. The driver of a car in #Taiwan gets warning of an #earthquake and takes appropriate action, stopping in a rockfall shelter. And what a good job they did, as rockfalls inundated the road. Early warning systems save lives, so long as you have a plan.

Dear @elonmusk, Our twitter-based research on the impact of natural hazards on people and infrastructure is impacted by the interruption of the Streaming API service. We tried to connect with Twitter on this, but were unsuccessful. Can you help? Would be greatly appreciated.
