Fascinating story by @hannah_hagemann:

Scientists are 'harvesting' fog for water. Here's what it could mean for California

Ok night owls🦉let's talk about the recent tsunami warning🌊We don't get these alerts very often and there are lot of questions, frustration, and even some anger about how it all unfolded. We'll go over the history, science and warning process👇

#MountainFire UPDATE:
The fire has crossed Highway 118 and is now impacting the Camarillo Heights area. Evacuation orders are in effect, and we urge residents to follow these orders for their safety. Several individuals have been injured and transported to local hospitals. Numerous structures are currently threatened.

Due to extreme wind conditions, fixed-wing aircraft are unable to assist in firefighting efforts. Ground crews, helicopters and mutual aid resources are actively working to protect lives and property.

Still have those eclipse glasses handy?

Quick, look at the Sun — there is a sunspot group large enough to see without a telescope (using a proper solar viewing method, of course)!

That's active region 13848, which has produced two M-class flares in the past week. 🤩

What's the best event in San Francisco?

We held a ranked-choice poll to find out, but also used the results to explain how ranked-choice voting works, including whether voters can "game" the system

How many cars vs. pedestrians use SF's Great Highway?

I was curious about Prop K's potential impact, so I went out to the Great Highway and counted every car & pedestrian I saw over the course of an hour

Here's what I found @sfchronicle

Yesterday we posted an unusual story for us at the @sfchronicle that was actually about 400 stories. Here is a little thread about how it happened.

A secret system covers up and perpetuates police misconduct in California.
We expose that system today.
It took 3 yrs of digging by @UCBerkeleyIRP reporters @KateyRusch and @SmithCaseyA and superb editing by @demianbulwa and the whole @sfchronicle team.

The Chronicle's hat game is about to take a serious hit. 🎩

But in all seriousness, I've learned so much reading and talking with @JohnKingSFChron. Wishing him the best retirement.
