Writing = synthesis. New ideas! ...we hope. Great to spend time with colleagues/friends new and old.

What concurrent hazards in California truley mean: Strong winds, fires, and earthquakes. Big challenges for resiliency. https://t.co/YcCypeiQlL

Love having former colleagues visit! Recently has visits from Xiaodong Ji from Tsinghua and Lydell Wiebe from McMaster.

Back at Mac for a few days. Hanging out with Ricky in the lab, he is halfway through his testing! Data looking 👌

@commresilience I was in a basement in a building downtown! Very short duration, electricity out for about 20 minutes.

Yesterday was a foreshock #earthquake. If you are in #southern #california, stay safe and let USGS know ”did you feel it?” tonight’s M7.1 by clicking on the link. https://t.co/NXMcsypUGJ

@iconhic2019, lots of fantastic talks about disaster resilience. But preparing at a household level is in your hands.

Minutes before game 3 of the 1989 World Series in San Francisco, a M6.9 #earthquake rocked the CA coast from Monterey to San Francisco. Centered near Loma Prieta peak in the mountains S of San Jose, 63 lives were lost and there was up to $10 billion in damage. #Science #History
