Upgraded to 4.7 with several mini quakes every three minutes, making coffee and staying alert. Working all night to night. Hope it’s not a foreshock.
Remember where your shoes are..,
@WomanVoter Shoes and a flashlight always in reach at night!
Sounds like most Oakland hills folks have power back now... hope no one suffered too much. But PG&E needs to be held responsible for the decades of neglect that led to this
Came across this cute mini art installation on a sidewalk tree stump this morning, and apparently the artist has left quite a few more around #foundontelegraph #cosoart foundontelegraph.com
Oakland hills finally lost power a few minutes ago from what I'm hearing...the uncertainty of what would happen and when has really added to people's stress

I just received this short clip from Northern Syria. A Turkish helicopter flying over Qamishli.
One of my sources filmed it today around 1730 hr local time. She just sent it to me. Clip short because net is slow. She said people are terrified. No one know what to do.

For anyone in the Bay Area who may need it, here is a list from PG&E about community centers they are opening tomorrow for people affected by the power shutoff. Only open during daylight hours though! #bayarea #pgeshutdown #emergencyprep
@Klaatu_Veratta_Nectarine The company's criminal refusal to upgrade has caused many deaths (not just in fires, but in massive natural gas explosions), and their response now is just to stop providing their service. Former execs need to be prosecuted
PG&E's website is erratic, but someone on the Birdsite managed to snag a map of the planned power shutoff for the Bay Area...OMFG! And they say it might last several days?
@tyghebright @th3j35t3r I think it's a sad commentary on society right now that a place where people simply make an effort to treat each other respectfully is deemed an echo chamber
@BillyBones Oh no!! 😂
@WomanVoter I felt that one!
@ChargedParticle The hashtags #science and #cososcience might also have some useful posts - people don't use tags as much as on the other site, but I think that will be changing since J is adding trending tag functionality soon (in beta now, I think)
@ChargedParticle @Stonekettle I'd recommend @HiRISE if you'd enjoy awesome closeup photos of Mars terrain
