Quoted From Article: Caltech staffer sends out alert for 6.8 earthquake...that happened in 1925

The report cause huge ripples on Twitter and in newsrooms across the country, but suspiciously no reports of anyone having felt the temblor.

USGS geophysicist Rafael Abreu says researchers were working on the 1925 earthquake when the mistaken alert went out.
