A Late-Night Jolt: The Bay Area’s Latest Reminder

Note: AI was used to create the images and clean up some off my notoriously long run on setences, with many - and I do mean many - asides,.😊😊😊 -------------------------------------------------- At 1:40 AM PDT on April 2nd, the Bay Area received a sudden wake-up call. A 4.6 Mw earthquake centered near Boulder Creek, about 48 miles southeast of San Francisco—shook the region, with reports on the USGS "Did You Feel It?" map spanning from the Golden Gate down to Monterey 1. While a 4.6 isn't exactly a "Big One" on the scale of 1906 or 1989, it’s certainly more than a minor tremor.

As I described in 2 Green Dots and 28 Green Bars my car has a little green clock. Well those cunning South Korean Hyundai engineers also put in a calendar. On the 12th of March my wife and I were driving back from dinner and she happened to notice the date that was being displayed on the calendar. Seems the Hyundai engineers may have missed something … Feb 29 + 12 = 41 so at least it is right! <Enter stunningly witty and clever tagline here> Bazza
