Former Prime Minister of Australia Malcolm Turnbull: “When you see Trump with Putin, as I have on a few occasions, he’s like the 12-year-old boy that goes to high school and meets the captain of the football team. ‘My hero!’ It’s really creepy…the creepiness was palpable”

99 years since the 29 June 1925 M6.4 Santa Barbara earthquake took a heavy toll on Santa Barbara & surrounding towns. Nobody left who remembers. We commorate earthquake anniversaries because the lessons are so easily forgotten.
Stats on @NASAJPL’s layoffs, by job title. 117 Systems Engineers let go! But there were 822 SEs to start with, so per capita only 14%. Mech-Es and Mechatronics Engrs got hit much harder per capita. I was in that tall yellow tentpole (SE IV).
What a storm! Parts of the Amargosa River watershed received about 50% of annual rainfall in 24 hours. The Amargosa River is flowing strong through the Amargosa Canyon as pictured here, and once again Lake Tecopa re-emerges from its deep Pleistocene slumber.

We really tried folks, but US 2 Stevens Pass is closed and will likely remain closed overnight, as it's really snowy and windy up there right now. US 97 Blewett Pass will also remain closed tonight. We'll reevaluate both early Wednesday morning (1/10) when conditions stabilize.
With our Snoqualmie Pass cameras down due to a widespread power outage, this is what it currently looks like up there. Chains required on all except AWD/4WD.
