Earthquake!
While at work late, I felt a pretty good jolt, which marked the arrival of yet another of California’s exciting pastimes: the regular Hayward fault earthquake. Displacement seemed mostly vertical, fairly obvious, but lasted only a few seconds. Once you are fairly sure that the earthquake is not bad at your location, you immediately wonder “is the rest of the Bay Area in ruin?” A quick trip to the USGS real time earthquake map for California assured us that the earthquake was a reasonably small 3.9 earthquake centered a couple of kilometers from our location. The USGS has a automatically generated page to describe the event. Whew! Guess the house will still be standing when I get home tonight.
On the right you can see traces of the earthquake activity. You can see that activity continues for up to a minute after the initial quake. They run these detectors at high gains so the display is significantly clipped.
Neat.
I suspect the world would be better if that percentage were even greater.
Apparently 15% of all web traffic is cat related. There's no reason for Brainwagon be any different.
Thanks Mal! I'm trying to reclaim the time that I was using doom scrolling and writing pointless political diatribes on…
Brainwagons back! I can't help you with a job, not least because I'm on the other side of our little…
Congrats, glad to hear all is well.
