In the clear light of day, it's obvious. The earthquake occurred off shore. The seismic wave had to travel to the coast where people lived. If there were sensors near the spot of the quake, the message that a quake had occurred could travel at the speed of light in advance of the seismic wave, there by giving people a short warning if a system were in place to do so.
