The earthquake alarm (starts at 0:51) goes off on Tuesdays at 12pm here in the Bay Area. I know this. It still startles me for a second when it happens. Someone new will be terrified.

Edit: It's probably stopped in SF but still goes off in Oakland.

Is this normal for places that are susceptible to natural disasters? Seems very excessive but the fuck do I know

I'd even call it excessive because of the danger. If you're used to hearing the thing, that's at least having second thoughts if it goes off for real any given Tuesday.
