Earthquakes
by Greg Hewgill
The Earthquakes Widget shows a world map with the latest earthquake information from USGS. Earthquakes are shown as circles, with a larger circle indicating a larger earthquake. Quakes within the last day are shown in yellow, those within the last week are shown in green. Right-click (or Ctrl-click on OS X) allows you to zoom in or out and open the USGS earthquake information page for any earthquake. Earthquake information is automatically refreshed about every three hours.
Current Version: 1.4

rynprovI have a request: Can you make it play a sound so that a new quake is reported, and the loudness of the sound depending on the magnitude of the earthquake, and to play a sound whether an update to the widget is available? Also, can u add a feature so users can set the duration between updates ranging from 5 minute to 120 minutes in 5-minute intervals? Oh and improve on the zooming feature.
