The real problem is infrastructure, not vehicle safety. Roadways are open systems with infinite variables—weather, pedestrians, distracted drivers, and aging infrastructure. Communication between vehicles is minimal, and infrastructure is largely silent—and in that gap lies the potential for deadly collisions.

PG&E confirmed that a gas leak had occurred near that location. A spokesperson, Tamar Sarkissian, told us that a PG&E crew was on-site by 11:15 p.m. the night of April 9 and after working for about two hours, stopped the flow of gas as 'safely and as quickly as possible' - by 1:32 a.m. Friday morning.

Super Typhoon Sinlaku first hit the islands on Tuesday night and continued into Wednesday, with a barrage of fierce winds and relentless rains that flipped over cars, toppled utility poles and ripped away tin roofs.

Scientists used satellite data to study vertical land motion from 2015 to 2023. Findings revealed that regional studies substantially underestimate sea level rise. NASA projects more than double the expected rise by 2050.

The city passed legislation nearly 18 months ago requiring property owners to retrofit their multi-story, wooden-frame buildings with at least three units constructed before 1990. It delayed implementation, however, when the federal government rolled back significant funding to facilitate the repairs. But after a court-granted injunction required the release of some of those federal funds, the city approved a $1.6 million pilot financing program in hopes of rolling out a larger critical life-safety initiative in the future.

The advisory is valid from Sunday 7 a.m. until Tuesday Feb. 17, at 3 p.m. Up to 1.0 ft of inundation above ground level is possible in low-lying areas near shorelines and tidal waterways, can be expected according to the NWS San Francisco CA. At the San Francisco tidal gauge, high tide is expected to be: 0.9 ft above normal (6.8 ft MLLW) at 9:34 a.m. Sunday 1.0 ft above normal (6.9 ft MLLW) at 10:16 a.m. Monday

A magnitude 3.4 earthquake rumbled in the South Bay on Tuesday morning, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The temblor struck at 6:48 a.m. and its epicenter was approximately 15 miles south of San Jose and 5 miles east-northeast of Gilroy. At least two small aftershocks were reported in the area shortly after the initial shaker; those shocks measured magnitude 1.3 and magnitude 1.0 respectively.

The rods are the central element of a novel seismic-responsive structural system that is designed to help the building snap back to its original shape in the event of a major earthquake. Their trick is an embedded cluster of taut cables made from a highly flexible compound called a shape-memory alloy that's capable of bending under tension-like the lateral shaking in a California earthquake-and then straightening out.

An earthquake measuring at a preliminary magnitude of 4.3 shook Sonoma County on Saturday morning around 9:22 a.m., according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The temblor struck about 3.7 miles north-northwest of the Geysers, close to Healdsburg in the North Bay. Originally the quake was measured at a preliminary magnitude of 3.9 but that was revised to a preliminary 4.3 later in the morning by the USGS.
