If you live in an area that experiences earthquakes, you might wish to have some information about them.

But lets face it, all the multimedia websites are rather mind numbing when trying to search for what you want.

Conveniently, the USGS provides this data via JSON format.

This utility 'showeq' shows earthquake data in a human understandable format.

For example:

perl ./showeq -f 1.0_week -a 35.5635277 -o -97.5437221 Oklahoma

Parses the one week feed to get the distance of quakes from me in Oklahoma.

The feed names are as found at https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/feed/v1.0/geojson.php:

{all,1.0,2.5,4.5,significant}_{hour,day,week,month}

One can combine them to produce a combined output:

perl ./showeq -f all_day,1.0_week,2.5_month -a 35.5635277 -o -97.5437221 Oklahoma

Example output is below:
