One of the scenes, and my favorite, from last nights drone show at the Santa Cruz Boardwalk.
Volume up and watch to the end!

The ribbon cutting from yesterday’s re-opening celebration of the end of the Santa Cruz Wharf!
The person cutting the ribbon is Norm Daly, a City of Santa Cruz employee who was one of two people that went into the water when the partial collapse happened on December 23, 2024.

A large power outage that stretches from Aptos to the North Coast has hit Santa Cruz, including the Boardwalk where they’re evacuating the rides, including the Sky Glider

Conditions are going to be less than ideal and possibly dangerous for small boats this weekend. Error on the side of caution if you’re thinking about going out

A lot of excitement building for the start of the sport salmon fishing season Saturday, but the Santa Cruz harbor master has a warning for some boaters planning to head out onto the water this weekend..

If I’m dreaming, please don’t wake me…
My view as I was laying in bed last night as I’m pet sitting in the hills above Soquel. The bright lights are from across the bay as clouds and fog were moving in. To add to the ambience, there was a large orange cat cuddled up against my side and a 6 month old, 50 lb Rottweiler puppy gently snoring on the rug at the foot of the bed.

Happy Easter!
I woke up at 3:30am this morning and saw this out the bedroom window, so of course I got up and went outside! I could get used to living in a hilltop estate…

😂 I’m sure Boulder Creek is filled with news crews!

Items were seen on the floor of the Boulder Creek Drug Store after a 4.6 magnitude earthquake struck in Santa Cruz County early Thursday morning. The quake shook much of the Bay Area, waking residents up. No damage has been reported in the region. abc7news.com/18827032/

The quake was in the Zayante Fault
Woke up to the @MyShakeApp alarm earlier.
Out of curiosity I pulled the data for the epicenter's region, every quake over 4.5 since 1984.
The epicenter, Boulder Creek (Zayante fault) is near the Loma Prieta earthquake's epicenter. That event also happens to be the last time this region had an earthquake of this magnitude.
It's been a great reminder that we are due for massive earthquake, some say ~70% by 2030s others say 2040s etc. The Zayante fault has already been game planned and was made into a 7.5 scale "scenario" by the USGS in 2017. Based on that data if the big one does hit this fault at a normal depth, damage to far away places like SF will likely be limited. The Loma Prieta earthquake was uniquely deep (long range propagation -> liquefaction), its foreshocks were also deeper than usual. However, a shallower quake means damage near the epicenter could/would be far worse.
During times like this it feels good to be bedrockmaxxing.

I keep waiting for an aftershock.
It appears it’s holding at a 5.1 center right here in the Santa Cruz Mountains.
Local law and fire agencies are all checking with their people and asking for damage assessment(no reports that I’ve heard) and every persons safety
