I don't have a smart phone. What the heck am I gonna do?

Clearly this is a plot by the phone manufacturers to ensure the only survivors of an imminent catastrophe are their loyal customers.

Am I the only one in love with the idea of a /bug/glitch/prank wherein the value reported by the app steadily climbs to 100%

@1: The tsunami zone along Elliott Bay isn't counted with that horrific fault in it that produces mega-thrust earthquakes? Um, whatever to that map.
