I am now feeding ClariNet's UPI newsgroup on earthquakes into the group
biz.clarinet.sample.   This group is freely redistributable within USENET.

If you're on the internet, for example, and you don't already get biz, you
can probably pick up a live feed from any number of different sites who
feed quickly.  We feed into UUNET on a regular basis, and it feeds many other
sites.

Regional earthquake stories have also been enabled for that group.

If you get a fast feed, you should get detailed news well in advance of
the newspapers.  Best of luck to bay area folks.

This is, of course, free.  I know people are hungry for info on this
event.
