I am collecting tweet data for the 7.1 earthquake now. The amount of tweets is amazing. Since this quake reached into Vegas and was stronger in Los Angeles, I expect a peak at least 2x greater than the 6.4 quake. Friday night seems like prime time for people to report via Twitter

I wonder if you could see the tweets ripple out from the epicentre or if the time between feeling and tweeting is too noisy.

Have you written about/shared anywhere your set up and process for ingesting the data?

There are some things scattered about on Pushshift.io but if there is interest, I'll take some time out and write up the process from start to finish.

All I want is a calibration curve between # of tweets and magnitude of earthquake.
