It might be worth noting, especially our CA Patriots, that a 6.4 struck N. California at 2:34 am today and that there is a strong likelihood of aftershocks in the coming week. This could be anything. I was just going to tell you that you'll be taking a field trip with me to Mt. Shasta in a few weeks, a place I have come to know well and which is also a site of very deep projects. It's some distance from the epicenter of Humboldt County- also a place of dark matter and beauty- but not far enough. I rarely link to fake news CNN but I'm on the move today and this gives you the nuts and bolts of it.

I have family in Fortuna, CA
Talked with my aunt this afternoon. Power is supposed to be restored by 10pm this evening,
Most all of the business in downtown have had their front glass blown out and street fronts are boarded up.
The Ferndale Bridge is closed (which is how you get to the town off the road), as the road on either side of the bridge has buckled. The back road into town has also buckled so that road is closed as well.
Looks like there is no way in or out of Ferndale unless by foot at this point.
